did you get a specific afco radiator or did you measure and order one?

I just got an off the shelf one that fit between the Toyota framerails and had the inlet and outlet where I wanted them.

Getting closer. The Only part left is the cab itself.

Sweet build. Your motivating me to do a swap in my runner. Does anyone know if this would be a Cali smog legal swap?

I've seen a few of these swaps in California and they say they had no problems, as long as the donor engine is newer than the truck its going in.

They sprayed it. It's broken and half removed anyway. I am replacing it. I probably should have removed it before bringing it to them but thats my fault.

Nice rig!. Na it's better to leave it in so the channel doesn't get painted. get a better windshield install

Got the truck home this weekend. Now all I need to do is get a windshield installed and I can re-assemble everything.

Clean!! i like how you did the radiator support black on the bottom like factory. I was going to do mine like that but bailed on it last second.

TacoRunner · « **Reply #232 on:** Jan 07, 2011, 08:10:03 AM »

Did you get a windshield yet, we all want to see this thing moving along on its own power.

Heck no. I've been extremely busy with work. All I have done so far is wet sand and buff the paint since the last pics were taken. I found out the new window trim is outrageously expensive so I'm going to scrounge for some decent used stuff. I need to get an exo built too before any major wheeling happens.

I'll post pics as soon as anything changes.

Sweet thanks for the update, mostly I just want to see it driving under its own power. I've seen a few of these 1UZ builds and I've yet to see one finished. $Beer Chug\'n$
