PLAN B
This build was 2 parts 1 i have a truck I made to pretty to wheel so I'm building an ugly one I can actually enjoy.
And 2. My cousin has been trying to join us for blazer bash but his truck wont be ready so we are surprising him with this one
I take the guess work out of it too
Drop it off that's even better than a kit!!!!!!
That is true you do have a point.I take the guess work out of it too

I won't put myself at the same level as Stephen for sure but I know a fair bit
Yeah I know what you meant.
Hmm.
I guess do as he says, not as he does?
I don't see links on Horton.
Not yet. It's already designed. Even a couple brackets built, but I want more compression than is easy to get so links are gonna include some serious frame mods and moving the engine and we'll the whole drivetrain up an inch and back 2 inches
Let's just focus on getting horton back o the trail first then we can talk about upgrades
That is the exact plan
Another idea on the radiator situation is i could always get a new aluminium radiator for the other truck and take the freshly rebuilt 4 core from that truck and put it in plan B. Its about 1 inch thicker but its about the same size as far as height and width. id need to mess with the brackets and shroud because of the thickness difference but it would be free....
Free for Plan B , if you ignore the cost of the one for Nightmare..
I trimmed the factory shroud in my '90 when I put the 4 core in, then just bought the big block retainer plate and cushions.
Yup either way nightmare is getting a new aluminium radiator. Im just waiting for black friday/ cyber monday dealsFree for Plan B , if you ignore the cost of the one for Nightmare..

Im looking into this now but having a hell of a time finding the part number for the big block brackets/retainer plate and cushions
I know that LMC has them, I believe it's repop.
Here are the cushions, at least 2 options.

Thanks!! Its worth looking into.
Im 99% sure im getting this radiator for nightmare

it really makes sense to just repurpose the radiator thats in it for pb. (If it fits its pretty huge)
Looks like lmc doesnt sell the big block brakets anymore 
Unless that top plate includes the brackts
Unless that top plate includes the brackts
On my big block radiator, the big top plate is the mounting bracket.
I actually think I have all the big block stuff on my crew cab
I know on my 78 its all one. If its all one part on the late 80s then im golden because its a $20 part.
@blazinzuk if you get a change will you check it out and send me some pics?
