It`s a summit alluminum radiator, and the closest one I could get, was a couple inches too short, so this is how it`s remedied

more progress
got the tranny filter mounted next to battery on the firewall
rad mount piece i made all painted ready to go in
piece installed, and radiator in place....needs to come up ~ 1/2in
fab parts for my bed from DIY4X
hoses ran to cooler ( will put wire loom over hoses to protect from sharp edges)
Got the dash installed, i`m a little upset that i trimmed the sides a little too much, i thought it would sit further back, and the weather strip would cover it, but you can only see it with the door opens, and it doesn`t look that bed, considering some of the factory edges on this dash, aftermarket
brings teh suck
I better be carefull not to JAM it into park
temp switch for fan installed
temp sender for gauge installed
oil pressure sending unit
two plugs installed in the intake
Can anyone tell me if the two holes in the front of the intake (picture above), and the two along the side of the intake ( picture below) need to plugged as well?

All four are for bracket mounting and do not need to be plugged.
FYI head mounting temp guages read higherthen intake mounting temp gauges so no posting later "my truck is running at 250' is it going to blow up"

Will that mess up the temp switch for the fan, same deal? I thought they were only a few degrees different?All four are for bracket mounting and do not need to be plugged.

thanks guys!
No it doesen't matter as long as you know that and your right its not all that much. If you realize that and set the system up that way its no big deal. I prefer the intake because it gets an overall reading instead of just one side, however I think the one in my truck right now is still in the head.

I have a temp sensor in the head for my autometer gauge and its never been above 190 and that was only because of traffic on a retardedly hot day.
yup, factory is in the head....
there's a reason you have a thermostat...

Maybe I missed the plan but above you posted pics of some parts you got from Kert for your bed... what's the plan for it? You running a full bed or just bed sides?

that stuff is what I`m using for the front and rear mounts, like what ryan (muddermilitia) used it will be pretty much a full bed, flat bed with sides type deal...

Any ideas on what I can use to cover the edges of the dash I kind of butchered 
? Maybe like a black vinyl patch kit, and just cut it to the size of the side of the dash, and have it go as far back to the inside of the dash as possible?

That's a dangerous question around here, you could go Avery's route and have mohair on it.
I would just look for a simple dash mat to protect it from the sun, and still cover the areas you are concerned about. Don't know of any patch kit that is going to do what you need here. Good luck.

to cover the exposed area?
It may fit on the drivers side, but not the pass....
