so this is what we started with
caused by this (taken 2 days later, on the trip back home)
so saturday we start ripping it apart to put the "new stuff on ... so we can go camping for the weekend (sat-mon)
we get it all together and fire it up ..... and it starts to bleed
well .... guess saturday night is a bust, so we go have some drinks at mikes place and invite some people over, have some fun, and go back at it sunday
1 gallon of coolant, 2 feet of hardline, 2 feet of hydraulic rubber hose, 8 hose clamps, 6 light bulbs 2 shoe laces, 2 beers and some packinging tape latter and all systems are go
James relaxing at the campsite later on:
James playing a little bit in the sand:
all in all it wasnt a bad repair. for $120 my buddy is getting EVERYTHING the truck needs, including the parts that activate the front diff for 4wd, and a new tailgate (both common problems)
then its time to build a new front bumper ... something that WONT crush nearly as easy (4" ID schd 40 pipe) and throw the new skid plates on, along with some 32" tires & spacers so they fit
i also have to make some real radiator mounts, as this core support was cut some to move the rad forward to fit a 350 in the truck its off of ... no biggie
