some more progress tonight I got it cut out. I think I might have to cut out and rebuild the lower support due to some rust but mostly to fit the condenser (should have gone with the smaller one). I did verify that this is the same radiator used for the 3/4ton with the 6.0. I do want to say that I didn't have to do this. the only time I ran hot (never actually overheated) was pulling a trailer up a steep mountain road with the a/c on in 90*+ weather. my original setup worked fine it was the single 18" ford fan on the stock brass lc radiator. if you look at the second pic in the first post you will see my trans coolers and power steering cooler, all of this was in front of the radiator and preheating the air. so when it got hot the radiator wasn't as efficient. I wasn't happy with it for a few reasons, when the a/c was on and my fan would come on at idle it stalled the motor a few times. this could have bin programed out but its more custom stuff. it might have bin salved with the duel ford fans but not sure. the a/c condenser was too small for 134 and I live in ca so finding r12 and getting it to work with the vortec compressor was not something I wanted to do. also getting custom lines made that did not leak was proving to be a problem. I want to be able to go into any autoparts store and get hoses and lines. finding radiator hoses was difficult when I did the swap and probably could not be done in BFE but if I ask for a hose for a 2004 chevy Silverado it should be easier to locate one. I like electric fans over mechanical for my truck because I can turn them on and off at will for example a deep water crossing where a mechanical fan becomes a propeller and stalls the motor in the middle of a river (hypothetical). im just trying to cover as many situations as possible. it might also have something to do with the fact that I am an electrician and like electronics. I know this will work because this radiator, fan, and condenser where all used in the truck this motor came out of.
