IA 68-72 4x4 Upper Radiator Pipe (new) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BLT gmc · 05-16-2015, 04:40 PM

I have built 2 extra pipes from aluminized steel. These new pipes have mandrel beads, they are 1 1/2", have extra length and rotation as the originals, with hose beads. 2 Differences from the original 1-I do not stamp the part #'s 2- there is a splice between the bends closest to the thermostat. This has to be done because the bends are to close for the jaws of the mandrel bender. There is TIG weld. I leave the weld for the new owner to finish as they see fit. The weld will dress nicely with a flap wheel. There will be a little ridge, because the pipes are not the exact same diameter when they come out of the bender(please see the close-up of the weld). I will sell for $85 shipped. If you do not like or want the pipe send it back in its original state. Pay to send it back and you will not own it. I can build more if interested. Or I can build 304 SS(these are more expensive). I can build customs from a pattern. I need ~ 3-5 weeks lead time if there is more interest. Best regards, Bruce

I would like one. Do you take PayPal. thanks, frank

BLT gmc · 05-16-2015, 07:45 PM

One sold to PICKMUP, PM received and returned. Pending payment. Thank you, Bruce

**TBONE1964** · 05-17-2015, 12:23 AM

I have one of the 304 SS versions that Bruce offers and I can tell you this is top notch work. It took a very minimum of prep work to polish as mine is shown.

You will not be disappointed in the quality of work here. Thank you Bruce.

Take care,
Tom

BLT gmc · 05-17-2015, 06:53 AM

57taskforce · 05-17-2015, 11:47 AM

I've got a lot of interest in one in the future, not in the funds right now but a few months down the line Id like one.

BLT gmc · 05-17-2015, 01:19 PM

57taskforce- You bet. Just let me know. Bruce

BLT gmc · 05-18-2015, 09:50 PM

Pickmup- Payment received, need your address, boxed and ready to go. I will send a PM, also. Best Regards, Bruce

BLT gmc · 05-18-2015, 10:02 PM

Pickmup,- My bad. I just looked at the Paypal receipt and found the shipping address. Wow, what a learning curve this is the Paypal I have ever received. I will send Tues. Bruce

**PICKMUP** · 05-23-2015, 04:34 PM

Received the pipe. That is a very nice part. We really needed it. The mandrell bends are great---much better than the original OEM. The ridge for the hose ends is also a nice touch. Thanks, Frank

BLT gmc · 05-24-2015, 04:07 PM

Thank you for those comments. I am glad you are satisfied, let me know if there is anything else I can do. Bruce

Intrested in the 304SS version. Are these been exactly like the OE 4x4 type? It looks like Custom 10 has a different water neck on his manifold.

**CUSTOM/10** · 06-23-2015, 10:47 AM

Mine is custom.

He does make them like the original.
