Jonathan, your ingenuity is the backbone of the American industrial experience. I have a cousin in Table Rock, NE that applies the same skill to International equipment in a construction/agricultural family business. Love to watch you work.

I use to own a coil manufacturing company (sold and retired) the little heater cores were something I built. Man would call me and ask if I could build just one and I tried to keep the price below $500.00. I had 7.5 million dollars tied up in production tooling and whether I built 1 or a thousand the set ups and production engineering were all the same.And yes,the 1000 lot would be $40.00 range to the OEM manufacturer.

That radiator is a thing of beauty but as a Canadian, we get so screwed on anything automotive. I don't know if it is to do with taxes or trade deals or what, but a person has to be very wealthy here to even think of messing with this type of stuff. Thats why I like watching channels like this. Thanks for keeping this seasonally effected, financially strapped Canuck entertained with these cool projects.

I was acquainted with an old tow truck operator. His old wrecker was a 1967. He said he was modernizing. He was setting up his new truck. It was a 1984. I asked him why. He said the 67' was getting hard to get parts for. Then he said he could still get parts, but because they were vintage they cost a lot more. This story is 20 years old. But I thought of you and your "new" trucks.

That's a good project. I built a couple rollbacks too. For the lift cylinders, they need a crossmember made of square tubing, not just bolted to the side of each frame rail. I seen a few with broken frames from that mounting set up.I agree about the planetary winch, the worm gear will hold the load, the planetary relys on a brake that can ( will ) fail. Great deal on the rad too.
