Thanx for the links Joe. I do love the island Big Chevy but I miss the old days when you could go to an old timer shop say "I'll pay cash, don't need a reciept" and they take care of you ASAP! Bill, I think China got almost all the old stuff, every one I"ve phoned refers me back to Wades Auto Wreaking by western speed way and he sent 95% + of the hundreds of the old iron to China. He has a 65 that I have pillaged extreamly just to extra stuff. I may have to contact you about driving my rad up there, is this shop open Saturdays?
I have to use the truck tommorow but then my daily drive is parked till I get this rad crap delt with
.
I found my rad online here,
# 32-2937 http://www.lmctruck.com/features/cbe/cberad-1965-gmc-c1000.htm.There pic shows the tanks on the sides, mine are on top and bottom. Hope fully it's just the picture is not correct. No parts store here has this listed, they only list
# 32-2925 and after the tape measures came out and 2 shops and I agree that this rad cannot be for this truck. My existing rad sits between the frame (23.5" wide) and the rad is over all 25 7/8" wide. I would have to make it sit on or above the frame to make it work. My daugter and I went through every rad in the catologs to find a rad we could make work, the only one workable in a 3 core has plastic tanks!
The manager of one shop gave me a contact of a heavy duty shop that mite take on my rad to repair it but after thinking about it I would like to put a larger rad in, if I can.
Could some one with our style of truck PLEASE shed some lite,post some pics of rads/rad mounts, what they have, etc, etc? I can't believe this has gotton so complicated!
Hind site.....is it 20/20?
Rad din'a leak till I put a working thermostat in, technicly it was'nt broken it just did'nt work so I fixed it, now sum tin is broked cuz I'z fixed it, sheeeeeze!
