Justin's radiator pipes and curved front hood emblem

[eddie102870]

had a little extra time saturday morning so me and my son installed my radiator hard pipes and front hood emblem, the hood emblem came off a lot easier than i expected, i popped the chrome portion off of the emblem and noticed a hole in the center of the black portion of the emblem so i took a curved pick and stuck it in the hole. after i used a heat gun to soften up the glue i just popped it off, dudnt take long at all. the rest was just clean up. and installing the badge, dont mind the bugs on the nose. radiator bottom pipe was a different story length was too long all i had to do was trim a half inch off it to make it fit other than that everything went cool, pics suck but they are from my phone

I like that! It will look good with the blue valve covers and pipes on your silver truck.

I love the look og hard pipes, but do they allow for engine movement without tugging on the radiator?

 

[eddie102870]

they do, theres small rubber hose on each end, motor doesnt flex that much anyway, mine doesnt anyway.

 

[AWDisuzu]

mine has a fair amount of flex. not much but if I put it in drive and power brake it I can see the motor move. I'd hate to be driving and have the increased vibration break the radiator nipple off!

 

[eddie102870]

theres probably a quarter inch gap on each end between the motor and pipe and the radiator and pipe, he has sold several sets already with no problems

 

[areuv]

I got them and no problems here

Looks good Eddie. Those valve covers will really set it off!!!!

Thanks Eddie! Ive been making the pipes a little short (especially the uppers) to comply with varying engine/radiator locations. I will reduce the length of the lower pipe to compensate some more. Its a very fine line of fitting all applications correctly without being too short or long. Thanks again!
