It's somewhat of a reinforcement Karl, why bother welding a truss when you can just put 1/4" of POR15?

kind of related:
no b/s, i saw a show on discovery where they blew up a bomb under two similar trucks. one had bedliner, one didn't. the truck without bedliner was toast. the truck with it looked like it could still be driven. so i say paint all the hummers with bedliner and por15. it will save lives

Nope - using other mounts I sent him a LONG arsed time ago. But wait - I guess that is figuring out the 2" gap issue - just not using the blingy mounts...

Hey - at least it is progress!

So apparently radiators arent what they used to be. Heres what i ordered. Four core rad for a 79 F-350 SCS with a 460. Its the right size but the tanks are plastic and the cores are alum. Heres a pic. Also a pic of my HAD yoke.
