Thinking of going to the Independence show Saturday evening across the street from Joe's Crab Shack. I'll have to give you a call and see where you're going to be.

It worked great, never had any cooling problems, it would idle with the A/C on and not get hot. As a general rule, these engines aren't hard to cool. I did have a steam port added to the right tank, but other than that it was completely stock. The fan fit the shroud like it was made for it, although I did make my own motor mounts so when I set it up, I set it up so the fan was in the shroud the correct amount.

So, with that said....... I pose a question to anyone still reading this thread.
Would you sell the orange truck for 30k cash? That's what he's offering. And man, I could do alot with that kind of cash!

lol at the "before" pic of a longbed.
You have some good luck finding nice origial swb c10's! I scour the print ads, craigslist, forums, etc around here and all I find is overpriced rusted out junk for $6000.
I really dig this one. Rusted missing rockers and all.
