Re: 58 GMC Project
Ditto, last year I ended up at my docs with severe chest pains, turned out to be esphogus spasm. He said the same thing, better to be safe than end up on a slab. Good news is carpal tunnel is very fixable if caught before nerve damage, my wife has had both hands done and does fine now.

The radiator works great and like you said, the quality is really good. My only complaint is the mount brackets should have be pre-drilled or at lest had a template for drill the holes.[/quote]

Re: 58 GMC Project
Very good to hear everything is good.
Did you retrofit the fan/shroud from the old rad or did it come with the new rad? Thanks Jean-Marc

Re: 58 GMC Project
Hey Dave glad you are ok. That is the most important thing.
What so you think of the radiator? I was really impressed with the quality of it. I still haven't run it yet but if it cools as good as it looks it should never get over 160...lol. Bernie |

Re: 58 GMC Project
glad to hear all is well. I have bi-laterl carpal tunnel. It doesnt help that i am in I.T. , and type a hell of a lot. The tingling/numbness is a mofo, but you kinda get use to it after several years. Wrenching on stuff takes me double what is use too as i have to stop and stretch my hands due to the tingling/numbness.

Re: 58 GMC Project
What did you do about the rear diff pinion offset?
I'm using the same diff for my project. Thanks, JM

Re: 58 GMC Project
The pinion is offset towards the passengers side.

Re: 58 GMC Project
I have similar scenario, I plan on using a fo** 8.8 with a 4 link but the pinion is 2-3/16" to the passenger side. How much is too much?

Re: 58 GMC Project
Just make sure the differential is centered to your frame the factory has set the pinion offset so I wouldn't worry to much about the angle.

Re: 58 GMC Project
Thanks Breader! Take your time and plan your build and I'm sure you 59 will turn out nice. Make sure once you start your build to start a project thread and shear it with us.

Re: 58 GMC Project
When I was building my truck I would break it up into small jobs doing a littal bit at atime, if not, your right it can get overwhelming real fast. I'm glade to hear my build has inspired you. Keep finishing those small jobs and before you know it your driving down road in your 56.

Re: 58 GMC Project
Last weekend I took my truck for photo shoot for Central Valley Rides. Central Valley Rides is a local high quality magazine that covers the central valley of California. I’m not sure when it’s going to be published but when it does I’ll scan and post them. Sorry for the poor quality cell phone picture.
