radiator heads up
Back in November I bought a champion radiator for my 56 F250 . When I tried it I didn't have the shroud on it . Yesterday I was putting things together and when I tried to mount the shroud . The bolt holes where off by 1/2 inch . The only way to make it work was, cutting the shroud in half and adding a 1/2 inch strip to it . I ended up with about 4 hours of screwing around by time I sandblasted the fresh paint off , cutting , welding , grinding , filling , and repainting . So if you have one of these radiators you may want to check and see if your shroud will fit before you get to far .

Dang!
Its always something. It sure can be frustrating when what is supposed to be a quick easy job turns out to be a long drawn out process.
Stick with it, at least you're going together with things
