Hi, I have two questions first off my truck last 2 times ive taken it out has started to over heat and cut off. I checked the radiator and it was full. I noticed that it has 3 diff. radiators 2 in front of the reg. one could it be that the air cant get threw to it? I have not yet had a chance to buy a shop manual to check it. Also the truck has had pretty much if not all of the whole heater/ac units taken out. I was thinking maybe this could be the prob. I need to look into getting all that for it so if anyone has any pics of their 72 it would be great so I could know what to look for on ebay until I get the shop mans. Thanks, Matt

One of the radiators is the condensor for the A/C, if the rest is gone already the get rid of the condensor. The other is most likly a tranny cooler, if you have an automatic tranny this could be an aux or the only cooler. If it is an aux. cooler you can remove it, depending on what you do with the truck, if you tow a lot the keep it or if you a pulling hills a lot keep it. If not get rid of it. Alos it would be helpful to flush the radiator to clean it and the cooling system. You may also have the wrong mix of water and antifreeze. Hope this helps.
