Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Packed the chinese rad up to ship back to Ledfoot, both tanks are too deep (front to back), only way to fit it in would be to modify the cradles on the bottom, and the bracket on the top. Rad was also about 2" narrower than the original. Dropped my rad off at a rad shop for a re-core.
Also installed new speakers in the doors, PO already carved up the doors... Used the foam baffles, protection from water, and improved sound.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I went for a nice long drive tonight, finally got my rad situation sorted out, got it back together and went for a nice long cruise. Man that felt good!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Didn't actually do anything to the truck, but after a lot of research received my new Precision brand windshield gasket today for the stainless trim install. Woohoo!
