Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Had to replace my radiator. A friend of mine had one laying around. Only differences are;
Drain is on opposite side and the overflow nipple points towards right side, so will have to have it turned around for overflow bottle. Has anyone used a radiator from Classic Industries? If so does if look original and how is the fit? |

Put wide whitewalls on her today. Getting ready to paint her. Just picked her up a few days ago. Also waiting on my oak wood bed kit to show up. Got several other things to do to her.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Finally hooked up my fuel fill. Now we will see if it works good enough to really use. I tacked it in for now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I dumped 4 quarts of oil into the engine before I realized the drain plug was not in. I'm an idiot.

No. You were just flushing out the old oil. Good job.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
It has been a long day. Got the motor and trans installed and bolted down then moved on to the cab. Beginning to look like a truck again.
