I got my four link as a kit. They are called fat bars. Several sites carry them. I paid the extra for the billet coilovers.

I didn't get the fans cause I have an aluminum fan shroud I built that I can adjust to fit.

That top radiator support... Does it actually hold the radiator or is it just a cover? Mine has two separate brackets that dont fit right. I was considering buying the chrome version of the one on your truck.

That ribbed part on top of the radiator, that holds it down and bolts to the core support. It had a big block radiator from factory because it had a 400. I know in 79 they had two different size radiators, I got the bigger one. Id go to the junk yard first and get one like mine to see if it will work. Chrome dont get you home...

Ace, your truck is a 81-up, Beasties is 80 down, the core support brackets aren't the same.

I only need to fill 1/2" tops. I'll prolly get some dense rubber stock or a phenolic block or something and afix it to the bottom mounts.

Just saved your build page to my book marks. Some say emulation is the finest form of flattery. Well done dude.

why didn't you order them from me?  Could have save you a couple bucks.

Man now I am wishing I had ordered from you. I didn't know you sold the flush mount back glass. The company has been giving me the run around for two weeks. I ordered them 3 weeks ago to the day and they can't give me a straight answer on where they are if they have shipped or not or even having all the parts in stock to put in the box. They have caller ID and aske me if they can call me back and never do. I would love to get this thing on the road for cruise in and race season.

Threaten to cancel your order. Maybe the company will magically find the status of your order. Id get a tracking number too. If not, cancel your order and keep an eye on your credit card statement. Most credit cards will help their customers (YOU).
