Re: What did you do to your truck today?
mounted new front rims and tires on the dually, now I have tubles all the way around. Have been working on the 9 year olds MG so all my extra time is going to that.

Nice improvement. Looks really custom while also looking almost stock.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I smoothed my firewall and fixed minor holes in the floor. I also installed my sway bar and ram style exhaust manifolds.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks. I'm likely going w/the Summit brand just trying to determine exactly how they look/fit. Is that p/n w/the internal trans cooler?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
It looks like you just welded in that upper radiator 'retaining' plate? If that's correct, how does the radiator slip into place & stay secure?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Scoti It looks like it's the the ends of the radiator that's welded and not the plate. I like his idea, just courise as to how he's going to retain it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Looks like it will bolt in and hold the radiator in place. That's clean Fleetside

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I drilled holes in the holder and the side covers hold it in place. The truck is apart so I really can't take any pictures of it at this time. I was going to drill some small holes on the back side of the radiator bracket and put some small screws in the backside to hold it to the hold down. I also removed the lower mount brackets and used long bolts so I could move the radiator up. I might have something bent for the lower also. It i all up in the air. I have since painted the hold down but some dirt got in it. Still dosn't look to bad. Either that or have a Stainless one bent up. The one in the picture cost me $7 at the heating and air place and a stainless one is about $21. I think this pictures shows the back lip on the radiator.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
This weekend I did my seasonal oil change and battery charge. Changed the trans pan gasket and gave it new fluid. Cut and mocked up my lf patch panel and did a little dent repair.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
This weekend I drove mine to town and got a truck load of mulch. I got home with it and the nephew came over to help me shovel it out. Spent most of the rest of the day getting on his @$$ for being too rough on the bed floor with a rake.
![]() The load of mulch mad the back end of my truck set even with the front....I kinda liked it...made the wheels in my head start turning. ![]() |
