New to site from Nevada
« on: March 28, 2012, 12:00:00 am »
Hi my name is Daniel I'm 20 years old and I'm from Gardnerville, Nevada. i am a proud owner of a 1980 Chevy k10 Scottsdale.     I'm in the process of trying to rebuild it. So far i have put in a new edelbrock intake manifold and carb. I'm in the process of rewiring the whole truck. I will post pics of it as soon as i can find my camera.


           So i have a question for you everyone. My Radiator busted on me while i was driving it and I'm trying to find a good replacement one. Any good suggestions on brand or type for a 5.7L 350 with the aftermarket Carb and intake? thanks again in advanced

Hi Daniel.  Welcome from Alaska.  Sounds like yoou have a great truck.

I would think that a good 3-core radiator would meet your needs to provide good cooling, especially in Nevada.  I would think NAPA, etc., would have them.  There are good aftermarket choices too, including aluminum,.  It will depend on your budget.

for a stock setup or close to it the normal ones at the parts store, stock will work fine. or even a junkyard if cash is tight. welcome from maryland
