Any observations on stainless brake line installation, thanks | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | Is that a removable cross member? If so I wouldn't cross there. I thing Chevrolet ran the line under/behind the front cross member.

Hope this helps. Have fun and good luck

Dan | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 | Great pictures! I copied some for for my project. Can you remember how the radiator support frame connects to the frame? Specifically if there are plates and rubber gaskets between the frame and support bracket, and what order they go.

There's a plate on that goes on top of the gasket inside the radiator support. Two bolts (carriage I believe) go through the plate, radiator support, and frame.

The placement of the radiator on the 41-46 trucks determines much of how the sheet metal seams will look on the hood to cab, hood to fenders/fender extensions and hood to grill pieces. I had the pleasure of having to remove a number of these pieces and reposition the radiator to get my seams more or less even. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 | VEW, Mick,
