Finally was able to get the radiator in! Actually finished it up this morning just in time to drive an hour away for work.
First run wasn't too well and had to change the bracket to move it away.

On the way pretty cool. Never topped over 160. The test will be when I leave, I'll undoubtedly be in some traffic.

Just some updates on the temps... With it being close to 90° a few times while sitting in traffic I hit around 192° and while moving I'm still hovering around 165°.
This is my NV4500 I picked up. Obtained it as a 2wd but have it at the transmission getting rebuilt into a 4wd and thr top set up to the newer style.
For the guys that's made their Fuel Tanks... what dimensions did you use? I'm trying to convince my Brother-in-law (who's a beast of a welder) to build me one. Problem is he lives a solid 12 hours away.

I was able to build a ~36 gallon tank out of one 4’ x 8’ x 3/16” sheet of 5052 aluminum.
It also included baffles and mounts for the same pedestal style mounting setup that you have on yours.

Has any of the AC setups been better or worse for anyone?
I wanted to use the unit I have but time just is not on my side when it comes to the 4bt I wanted to use. And I do not want to go through another Southern Summer without AC.

One of my major issues is the heat getting in as well. Right now I drive so much a week I seem to always be in and the summer last year sucked.
Glad to hear that 55 is still being driven and going strong!

Soooo, where does one get a replacement Windshield??
Ask your local glass guy to order #FW326 made by MYGRANT

I'm going to call right now, thank you very much!
Oh no! Spring training at the ballpark? Cruisercorps has them. I've also heard that mygrantglass.com may be able to get them. But you need to call them and see if they'll send to a local installer.

I wish lol It was just some stray rock the size of a gulf ball that did it in. My local guy says they deal with MYGRANT and is just checking time frame now
