I got an extra radiator support if you want it and you want to pay shipping. Idk if it would be cheaper for you to pay shipping from ny to wherever you are or hit up a junkyard, but if you want it message me.

i like those tires. i may look into em cause im winding down to need some. but i was thinkin of puttin mud grips in the back, and a/ts in the front. but i dont wanna mix match brands.. but if your gonna buy tires for the extra vehicle, to me it makes way more sence to go to treadwright.com. they are good tires, look up the "guinee pig" thread on them
They also said with this pattern, I should be able to get around the snow pretty good as the new pattern I am getting (rev 3 series) has a lightly different design that will fling out snow and mud more than the other ones.

cool update. if the radiator is bein held up i say it works fine lol. you should go to walmart they have a DIY tire fix kit. its a plug, but its somethin to do to those tires if ya can. first you ought to air them up and see how long they hold air. they may just be flat, it does happen :/. or get a lot of that green slime stuff and put it in there. i did that for 1000 miles untill i just got all new tires. coulda gone longer

lol I hope you were kidding... Did you see the pics of those tires! they are bald and dry rotted...they would never pass inspection in NY...blow out waiting to happen.... same with the radiator repair...that pretty severe...some would rather avoid being stuck on the side of the road later.

this may sound funny but did you look for the full sized spare under the bed?

While I got your attention.
Brakes. Standard is 1 POT brakes? Can I put a 2 POT's on there for better braking?
Also it looks like I dont have ABS brakes, is this normal? I keep seeing things online for ABS for my year of truck.

^I think rear ABS was optional until like 97 or 98 or something.
After that it was standard. I also think that front ABS was standard on 3/4 and 1 ton models in 98.
I may be wrong though.
Nice little project you got there man.
Although, after you get it going and driving, you'll prolly still wanna do more to it.
