the more i look(and listen the more I learn) the more i learn
turns out it appears i can make the stock rad in the open cab work, but I have made the decesion to keep her original as she is the closest to it, and I have had some folks making inuendos about a purchase, and as far as I can tell if there was a real buyer here it is worth more than in the states, so i am leaving her cooling system alone
the radiator in the non artic cab is the same height and width as the stock but only about 2.5 in. thick whereas the stock appears to be at least 3 plus, it is a mopar(was it mopar when they made these trucks and taxis or did mopar come later), plus it is a different fin structure than the stock, could it also be from the taxi they got the 237 out of, don t seem big enuff
so i am gonna hit the bone yds. and or radiator shops to see if i can find something to fill the bil
not to mention someone butchered the back side of the front clip frame and torched off the flange on it-----only he and god know why
million $ question, if it is a pressurized system can i get away with less radiator, just wondering
yea I noticed that i can move it back some, probably not enuff be centered in the cap
hole but can move the spout out a hair
and thanks for the heads up on the winch, as that also did cross my mind i do have the winch extentions and winches and bumpers(beat to hell but they are there), however being a 62 it has the full bumper and some hot shot welded what looks like a railroad tie of some sort to it but I kinda like it so will leave and some how give it a mouth for the cable
