A tale of two Dusters
Ok, I got everything buttoned up last night and drove it to school this morning. Everything seems to be working great! I just need to add a little more trans fluid because it isn't shifting quite right. As you might notice in the pictures, the radiator is not the stock size. It is out of a later model dodge truck. And it is a lot bigger! Wider and taller. In case you are wondering, not it doesn't fit without a little bit of massaging. I had to bend the edge of the battery box so that it would physically slide in between the frame rails(it is a press fit type deal). And then it hit the hood support with the cap. even with the radiator sitting on the core support. Noting that a large ball-peen hammer wouldn't fix! on to the pics!
Mounts ( the A/C condenser bolts are behind the radiator, you have to put them in first):
View down the radiator with everything but the fan:
Me showing some kid that came into the shop how it is done! haha:
All buttoned up... Before I washed it:
Thanks again for looking!
