C10 Project: Making Brackets for the Radiator Installation

[@alfonsomendez6633]

Got it done! This was exactly what I needed to know. I have a 66' In search of that hard to find hold down bracket but I will make my own now.

[@StoutCustom]

Good deal! Thanks for watching!

[@aramtopjian220]

Thanks for your videos. You have helped me a lot on sanding and fabrication. I have been working on my 70 C-10 for almost 2 years. Hopefully 6 more months I’ll be finished.

[@StoutCustom]

Good to know these videos help. Good luck on your c10 and thanks for watching!

I love your videos bud. Being an older gent myself, ive learned some key pointers from this video that I can apply to my Squarebody as well. Thank you. Aloha from Hawaii. 🤙🤙

[@StoutCustom]

Aloha Kalani. Yeah I don’t always know what I’m doing but I think the videos help folks answer some questions they run into on their builds. I’m glad it helped you out and thanks for watching!

Ahhh for a second I thought you were running the radiator in front of everything 😂 great work! Thank you for the content. I'm running nearly the exact same setup

[@StoutCustom]

Lol. Just made it easier to work on. Thanks for watching!

Just found your channel. Awesome video, gives me an idea how I can mod fit my efan on my 6.5l in spring. You are one heck of the fine man.

[@StoutCustom]

Thanks for the compliment Tobi. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!

Great video. You can't hide talent.

[@StoutCustom]

Lol. Thanks

[@bonezshakergarage]

Great video and the brackets turned out awesome.

[@StoutCustom]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@DoggyDogYT]

Damn great work!

[@StoutCustom]

Thank you!

[@Brian-tg8ye]

Great engenuity. I would make a top plate to cover up the bracketry, and you're good to go. 👍🏻

[@StoutCustom]

Thanks. Yeah I think you’re right. A top plate would also hide the gap between the radiator and support so it would look more natural.

[@scottraper9574]

Nice job!

Thanks!

That is so true. 👍

Nice truck!!!! Any link for spark plug wires??

[@StoutCustom]

I got them at Summit Racing. MSD 32819 I believe but not positive. Thanks for watching!

[@thabigghomie_]

Nice

[@StoutCustom]

Thank you

[@Dominic-hw3yp]

condenser bracket video?

[@StoutCustom]

I mounted the condenser at the beginning of the video. Just two straight pieces of aluminum mounted vertical from top to bottom of the radiator support with the condenser mounted in between

[@daltonminckley5929]

Did you make them channel pieces yourself or can you purchase them? I have the exact same radiator, also going into a square body

[@StoutCustom]

I have a friend that does metal work. I had him bend the channel pieces for me. Worked well but I wish I had relocated the a/c drier and mounted the radiator closer to the support. With the radiator spaced away from the support I really need baffles to direct the air flow. No issues yet but I think it would help in the heat of summer.

[@daltonminckley5929]

@@StoutCustom Got it! That’s some more good info, do you happen to remember the gauge used? I see all star performance sells a set but wanting to check around some more!

[@StoutCustom]

@@daltonminckley5929 I think 18ga but not positive. I’m not sure if I showed it in the video but I bought some thin strips of rubber to go between the bracket and the radiator to keep it from being metal on metal. Worked well

[@daltonminckley5929]

@@StoutCustom Yep I saw it! I work at a place that makes parts out of all kinds of rubber and foam so I’ve got that covered at least haha I’ll be doing the same setup as you, I’ve watched a lot of your videos multiple times 🤙

[@goatsgarage2635]

What radiator are you using

[@StoutCustom]

It’s a griffin performance fit with dual fans. It’s a replacement for the stock radiator and not designed for an Ls swap. The stock replacement was several hundred cheaper than a “Ls” swap radiator. The difference is size and location of hose inlets/outlets and trans line hookup sizes. I had to do a little adapting here n there.

[@deankay4434]

They say necessity is the mother of all inventions. They never met a talented fabricator! Don’t own a TIG and you are right. It is like playing a piano while running uphill, both ways of course!

[@StoutCustom]

Lol. Yep not easy.

[@Tenn2tx]

Nice work! Sheesh just sell me the set. jk

[@StoutCustom]

Lol. Thanks!
