As far as big block specific, power steering bracket is elusive.  Thinking about a Cummins radiator since they are a dime a dozen and big block Mopar ones are $300-500. Any thoughts on this?

I will dig through my BB parts and look through Noah's and see if we can turn up with something. I will keep you informed. As far as radiators, any good 3-4 core radiator should work fine. I have a bunch of used radiator of different sizes that your more then willing to take off my hands. Also if you have a 3-4 core radiator you could always have it recored for a lot let cost then buying a new one. I don;t thing cummins radiators are that big.

It's an interesting truck, but living in TX, I'd wanna make sure that a/c is ARCTIC cold first! 


I was born in '67 - POST baby boom.  Like all of us born after '64, I have the freon gene.  When it's over 70o, and I'm OUT of the presence of freon, I start getting the DT's!!!   :o

70*???? That's a Texas Winter! bbbuuurrrr get a jacket  :laughing4:

I plan to put AC in this truck....... One day.

Yeah I just hate paying $75 for a $10 part.  I'm just hoping that by the time mine is ready to roll, one will come knocking on the door. Let me post my address.   :039:

I have a big block radiator that needed repair but come to find out that early big blocks and later big blocks have the inlet/outlets on opposite sides. What a bummer that was. Mine is a 67 block and the lower inlet needs to be on the driver side or I'll have to find a newer style water pump housing. I know I can buy a new one at full price in aluminum but then it won't be a JY dog.   :laughing7:

Good find. Are you gonna use those axles for your CTD swap?  I know you guys only like D60s.  Hint hint
