Yeah, I relocated the rad of my 82 in the bed about 10 inches in front of the cab on  two pieces of angle Iron.  I did this because I wanted a winch but didn't want to destroy my approach angle so I mounted my winch in the engine compartment and used 1 1/2" DOM to run my cooling lines, of course, remember to run yer cooling lines high up along the frame and use something to protect them like... more angle iron.  This helps to strengthen the frame and to protect the cooling lines.  Another thing I did that alot of people don't know is that I went to the closest wrecking yard and pulled an aluminum rad out of a 91 S-10 Blazer.  It works a hell of a lot better than the old copper or brass or I have even seen some yota's with 4345 steel rads.  Just a thought I guess.
