Clutch fan installed today.
Feels like a stronger wind but not holding my breathe. I think I will get the 3 core rad. |

You gonna get a real copper/brass rad ? I bought a replica 4 row for my '66 a few years ago and it seems to work well. I only had the anemic Gen V engine in there then. Hope it still cools good for the 496 now.

Well, I have taken a turn, I give up on the window mouldings right now. I have been practicing on welding this 24 gauge moulding to perfection for chrome and I give up, it's just too damn thin for this guy to pull off. I believe what I am going to do is get stainless ones and cut them just like I did 40 something years ago and not even weld them. Just piece them together done deal. I will be looking at other trucks and asking questions but right now, it's on the back burner.
I am dying to see this blue truck to see how he did it. But I find it hard to believe it can even be installed as original without folding it in half. The way it tucks into the window opening over the pinch welds, I really wonder if it can be done with the top chopped without folding it in half. Anyway, I cut the one stainless moulding I have and was able to bend it for the slanted A pillar without any heat or any problem so I know I can do that, and I will be looking for a nice pair of stainless mouldings being the only one I have also has holes drilled in it for a mirror. ![]() Anyway, off to the next step this is on the back burner. And yes that's me standing next to my truck around 1982. Brian |

I have a nice 3 core if I could find someone to re core it.... |

They have gone up in cost since I bought mine, but I think I paid around $500 for my 4 row, High Efficiency model. The 3 row is now $600. You may need to cut out the core support for the wider size, but it should have an indent for that, if it hasn't been cut already. Brian's son works at an old time radiator shop...maybe he could get yours re-cored, but with the shipping would probably put you right in the area of this cost for new... ![]() Copy the part number off their website and paste it in a search box and see where they com,e up. It may be less thru a large vendor, like Summit. |

Here ya go, I did a dealer locator. Looks like there are a few in your area of the US to check with. Summit is not listed as a vendor.

Way I found mine was choose via measurements in a Modine catalog then had local parts store order the number.

I have Hurst cheater slicks on my '63 Falcon and most people told me they'd take more weight than a wheel had room for! My 10" Hurst took no weight at all! The tire store was amazed too! |

Thanks. I found that exact sit and map after posting. The CDN dude's site is gone of course. 600 bucks will be a G note minimum in our lowly dollars. There is a better (than the junk I bought) alum/plastic one available for 3 bills locally. CU302 Spectra. That would be $230 USD. |
