Re: 1969 GMC Short Fleet Build
Bumbera's has finished most of the engine plumbing and throttle/trans kick down cables. The air Cleaner looks good.........

Re: 1969 GMC Short Fleet Build
I checked the rear shock angle on the rear end, bounced the rear up and down, the shocks are not doing much dampening at the 35 deg. angle they are at now since I lowered the truck

Another thought on why you are doing fine on your stock radiator set-up compared to my radiator needs here in houston.......I know it gets hot in the summer in Missouri however in Houston the average summer day is in the mid to upper 90's with 90 percent humidity. Heat transfer devices do not work very efficent in these conditions. What I bought may seem like a little overkill, but better safe than sorry. ![]() ![]() Oh....Nate, Retirement, Whats that?!!! Dale

Re: 1969 GMC Short Fleet Build
Radiator install pics, Bumbera's did a great job installing the engine/trans/radiator components, the attention to detail is amazing with all the custom fabricated little brackets for the wiring and hoses!!! The radiator overflow catch tank came out nice!!!!

Re: 1969 GMC Short Fleet Build
Thanks, I measured my truck, but not the tires. It is not lowered and it measured alittle over 31" in the front and alittle under 32" in the back.

My truck is lowered 2.5 in. in the front and 3 in. in the rear, measured from the top of the wheelwheels-31 in. in the rear & 30" in the front. I really do not want to lower it anymore. Looks like your truck is just a bit higher than mine. Dale
