Re: Crash's 69 K10
What's that coupling in the middle of the radiator hose?

I serves a few purposes.. It adapts the 1 5/16" LS hose size to the 1 1/2" of the 69 radiator. It allows me a place to vent all of the air out of the system.. Important on the LS.. It allows me a place to route the LS Steam Vent Tube..

Re: Crash's 69 K10
You have every right to be proud of your hard work. That truck is beautiful. I hope mine is half as nice as yours. On your bumper... if it comes down to it you might have to egg out the holes in the brackets.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Thanks.. I thought about that after I put all the tools up.. It is really close right now.. But I bet I end up pulling it off and do just that.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Update..
Worked on getting the glass installed today. I found a glass guy that knows how to install glass in these older vehicles. We started on the windshield first, got it about ¾ of the way in and decided was not going to fit. The glass guy thinks the glass may be too large. We pulled it out and decided to try it a second time and we thought we had it in, put the top trim jumped out of the groove in the rubber. It looks really nice, but it will have to come out again to get it right. Going back next weekend to try again, this time the Glass Guy will bring a tool to trim the glass down just a little. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We got the back glass in with no problems.. ![]() ![]() ![]() I also decided on a set of wheels and tires for the truck, 18 x 9 Moto Metal 951’s with LT325/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers, but thought I might better check the fit of the wheel before I had the tires mounted. Good thing I did the center bore of the wheel is way too small for the front hubs. Back to the drawing board.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Mark, that thing is really looking killer!
Sorry to hear about the bad luck on the wheels, but you could run trash can lids on that rascal and it still gonna look great. ![]()

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Glass looks good. Too bad about the wheels. I'm sure you'll find some you like.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
After putting it in and taking it out 4 times the windshield is finally in, with trim. It looks great. The windshield is just like all other aftermarket parts, not an exact fit. It took a little persuading to get it done.
Also picked up my new wheels and tires (Moto Metal 955’s and Nitto 325/60/18).. Headed back to the lake tomorrow to put them on. I will post pictures of both tomorrow evening..
