2nd gen radiator in a first gen
 

i have an old 2nd gen radiator layin in the back of the garage that needs to be re-cored. i know a guy that does a real good job for a decent price only thing is; i'm currious how much work it'd be to get this radiator to fit in my truck and if anyone has done this? idk if i want to go with a stock 2nd gen or get a full on aluminum one for the first gen off of summit. in that fact if i can get a 2nd gen to fit with minimal mods i'd just do a full aluminum radiator.

i'd just go with the aluminum one it will cool better with what i would think would be a lot less hassel

yeah i started looking at dimensions shortly after i posted this... 2nd gen is wayyy too long. also if you go with the aluminum one you can get a 5500 CFM electric fan kit off of summit with dimensions that are extremely close to the first gen radiator. and i also found a site for an electric water pump so i believe i will go this route when i do my "master build" lord knows when that will be :argh:

i no how you feel, gotta post how the electric fan works out, i'd like to no

ya i would like to know too

:D like i said guys idk when this will happen... i have some pretty profound bills for bein 20 and fresh out of college :madd: soon as i start makin some head way i'll let you guys in on it... the cooling system on this truck needs some TLC so after a starter and alternator that's what i'll be focusing on, radiator and electric water pump first; probably still run the factory fan for awhile then i'll dust this post off and make a write up with the fan... it'll be awhile guys, makin decent money now but there's alot of everhead still

hey i know how you feel i'm 21 and worken my tail off to pay bills too....every spare cent goes into the truck
