Tomorrow I plan to meet with someone about t-shirts for the upcoming Pup meet in March. We'll try to keep them nice, but simple so they will be affordable for all. :)

well gang,
my pup is a trailer queen right now or should i say a redheaded step child? anyway, i blew a seam in the radiator just below the fill neck and it doesnt hold water. when i took it out a bunch of the coil was bent and smashed up so it wasnt breathing well at all. all that being said i guess i wont be making it to concord with out a radiator. i am currently looking for an aluminum universal radiator to take its place but that isnt and easier. if nothing else i will be getting this one recored and rewelded.

BRITT IF YOUR TANKS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE . JUST HAVE THEM PUT INA NEW CORE ,THAT IS AN EXP RADIATOR , AS YOU KNOW IT IS A 3 ROW RAD , AND ARE ALL MOST IMPOSSIABLE TO FIND NEW THEY ARE OUT OF SIGHT AND USED ALLMOST NON EXISTANT ,

I HAVE ONE FROM A TURBO TROOPER THAT IS VERY USABLE BUT IT IS ABOTU 2 1/2 INCHS TO TALL , CAREFULL ON THE ALUMNIUM RAD THE DUAL ROW ON RAD ON ONE THAT WILL FIT IN YOUR TRUCK IS NOT ENOUGH WHEN YOU START MAKIGN THE ENG WORK AND PRODUCING A LOT OF HEAT WITH THAT TURBO ENG , IF YOU CAN GET THE DUAL ROW ALUM, RAD WITH THE 1 1/2 DUAL ROWS AND THE BIGGEST YOU CAN GET IN THERE YOU SHOULD BE OK, BUT ALLMOST ALL OF THEM HAVE TO HAVE THE PASS SIDE FITTING REWORKED AS THEY ARE THE WRONG SIZE AND ARE UP ON THE SIDE OF THE TANK ABOTU 4 INCH FROM THE BOTTOM .

Jerry,
I am not even sure that the radiator that is in mine is the original, but i am going to drop it off at the radiator shop this afternoon and see what they say for an estimate.
thanks for the info. I am going to PM you with my info to get the lower radiator hose and bypass hose for the water pump.
thanks

This Is a quote from Jerry from a PM I received from him. So far I've had several favorable responses to the group PM I sent out. I'll be in touch the closer we get to the date as to when I'll/we'll head out that way. We can convoy together.

HEY ANDY, THE 10-12 WILL BE FINE WITH ME , WE WILL BE GONE THE PREVIOUS WEEKEND AND BE BACK HERE ON THE 6TH OF OCT, IF ANYONE HAS A SMALL CAMP TRAILER , WE CAN SET THEM UP ALLSO, PLENTY OF ROOM, FOR THOSE WHO NEED OR WANT TO STAY OVERNITE THERE IS A VERY NICE MOTEL NOT BUT ABOUT 10 MIN AWAY AND VERY REASONABLE

3 hours + how many more? You know Jerry lives in Atlanta, right? I've got one from Florida that may be coming, so distance shouldn't be an issue. Fill that thing up and come on!
