just curious. if not, then the race is on! :D getting a '73 body this weekend.
 
I put one in a '79 K10 for about a year before the block and crankshaft went... Would be no different for a '73-75 as far as parts needed go. I can tell you the best way to get a diesel radiator that bolts in though :D

That is a 454 radiator core with diesel end caps, 454 fan shroud (notched for the oil cooler lines), 454 radiator bracket and stock diesel fan and clutch.
 
guess ya beat me to it then! :D great tip on the radiator stuff!! thanks! how do you get the diesel end caps on the 454 radiator core?
 
Radiator shop should do it, but if you buy a used radiator just pay to have it rodded out and they can put the other end caps back on it in the process.
 
I've got an extra diesel radiator and 454 bracket for that body style as well. Might have a shroud for the 454 still too but need to double check.
