It looks pretty cool with the top gone. I still think it would make a cool roadster.

well, the snow keeps comeing, and the camra seems to not work for me, but i'll get pics up a.s.a.p, the roof repare is done, and so it's time to weld it back on, finish the rad, front bumper, and the box, then take it for the safety

Has the snow melted yet? The snow here has melted that fell last weekend and now we are down to the snow that was left from winter...... will it ever end!

Did you find another roof?

ezekiel · 04-30-2008, 06:35 AM

I too am very interested in seeing your progress.

I would like to get a look at how to did that roof repair.

Well my 69 GMC is going just fine. Drove it on and off through out the winter. My 59 GMC is still in storage near you! Planning to be down there from mid July to Mid August this year.

Do you need a 4-core 57 rad or a 4-core 77 rad?

Either way, what I did on another project was take my 2-core rad to a local shop and had them recore it. Basically, they took the upper and lower tanks off the old one and put them on a new 4-core section.

I think it cost me between $100 and $200 in Calgary.

tiggerstoy · 05-29-2008, 04:04 PM

thanks ezekiel....after reading this, i went to the local rad shop and asked then some q, well, he said to give him the size and mounts and no matter what he would build it would be under 300.00 bucks, thanks again.........max.

tiggerstoy · 07-30-2008, 06:21 PM

well, got the new p.c, so i will post pics as soon as i get back to the shop and grab the camera.....max

entourageguy · 07-30-2008, 07:05 PM

It's about time....

55dude · 08-01-2008, 11:31 PM

were waiting!

tiggerstoy · 08-03-2008, 11:47 AM

sorry folks, it seems i took the pics, but did not save them, i'll see if my phone still has some on it, if not i'll go take some more.

sailed2japan · 08-03-2008, 01:34 PM

thanks, im still working on the finel stuff to make it driveable, and the i'll try to make it look pritty...lol

tiggerstoy · 08-10-2008, 10:21 AM

well, i used a gastank from a s-10, i took off 1 inch from each side of the lower frame rail, made 2 straps, used a piece of angle for the cross mount bar so i did'nt have to move the rear cross member on the frame, it fits verry nice, and only took about and hour, i still have to decide wether im going to cut the upper frame rail to give room for the filler neck, or cap the fill hole on the tank, and make a new fill hole in the center-top of the tank and fillit from the box floor, but i like the idea of filling the truck from the fender, gives me the box to be able to be used.....what do you think?.....max.

tiggerstoy · 08-10-2008, 11:49 AM

well, im trying to post some pics, but it keeps comeing up as error on page!?
