Well its really close to driving I just have to get the drive shaft shortened. Lately I have been working on the exhaust, stereo and gauges. I will post pictures of that stuff tomorrow. Getting a radiator in has been the biggest challenge, I had to cut into the core support to get it to fit. I used the factory 520 radiator but I got it re-cored with a 3 core dimpled core (they say it is equal to having a 4 core radiator). I have no cooling fan right now, but it still runs at 190 f without any fan at all. I will install a electric fan before I drive it. So heres a few pics sorry if you still have dial up.

She`s looking good, coming along nice. I don`t think this time of year you will have a over heating problem, maybe a heating problem. .
That old of a truck, probably new radiators are`t available.. looks like you had them replumb the inlet and out let pipes for the new set up.

It's looking pretty good... Lots of hard work done there.
With regard to dial-up, as a matter of fact, I am on dial-up in an area where nothing else is available at reasonable cost. The previous page with images takes almost 10 minutes to load. This one somewhat less. I generally re-sample pics to about 600 by 900. It's not rocket science

The old 'six gun' was as popular as the cell phone in its time and just as annoying when it went off in the Theater.

I agree that the truck looks great.
I should imagine with the monster amp etc etc you have behind the seats and "cranked" you will have to go around once a week and tighten all the body screws and bolts etc.
My daughter had one of those BOOM BOOM things in her 90 sunbird and the friggen tail lights fell out casue the screws backed out.
How did you make out with the heating/cooling issue that you thought you may have. Did you purchase a secondary electric fan and put in front of the rad?

Problem with being retired is that you never get a day off.
