Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Making the bend to come off of the radiator support. Not pictured is when I increased the bottom flange angle to 90 degrees to catch the radiator on the engine side of things.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
I went up into the loft of my garage and found this radiator shroud. I was planning on using it for an upcoming shortbox project, but even though it’s original, it’s not perfect, and Dolly doesn’t mind, LOL.
It was greasy, dirty, and bent. I did my best to remedy it, and I’m not too disappointed. Brake cleaner works like magic after scrubbing the big stuff. The heat, bracing and letting it cool on its own did the job in straightening the plastic... |

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
More “Unobtainium” was used on the shroud. I’ll let it dry over night and we’ll see how it looks after work.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Shroud secured...if you look closely, I made a different radiator cover. I’ll use the previous cover on a different truck.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
High hump cover is in place. I’m using the 1968 4 speed transmission. The shift knob is 1967 and it’s shift pattern that I so nicely cleaned up is incorrect. The reverse is actually on the other side...I’ll have to find a different shift knob, I guess.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
K30 Speedometer Cable: Using an automatic cable on a 4 speed transmission...
Another item off the list. The 2wd 4 speed cable was too short. The only speedometer cable I could find in the back yard was this one off of a 1972 K20 with auto transmission. Last edited by fishnixon; 06-08-2021 at 05:55 PM. |

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
The cup is the right size but the cable sticking out is a bit longer...so, I’ll cut a little off and taper the 4 edges slightly.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Connected the speedo end at the dash, attached the clip on the firewall and bolted down the other clip to the top of the frame. Hope it works.
