Default Git 'er done...

Old radiator was either out of Carrier or a Lend lease ford. Bottom water outlets heading down instead of straight out of tank. So its great to get the right set up in there.

Have also found original Cab 12 Fan Shroud and support bar that runs through the Shroud so they will go on soon as well.

No doubt that was an expensive item Tony.
Bit of a bugger that you have to go interstate for a radiator!
I do not give recommendations lightly, so hope you are as happy with the end result as I was.
Rich.

Default Radiator

A quick update on the performance of replacement radiator. Very successful...engine is running cooler. Heat however is being blown onto engine covers. They are hotter then they ever were before.

Have installed fan shroud and support bar. This bar definitely reduces the flex in the cab so a good thing to have back in there.

Default Ariah Park Show

I was asked a couple months ago to take the truck out to a little struggling country show at Ariah Park. It was the show's centenary year so they were making a big effort.

Ian Styles brought out his superb example of an LP2 Carrier on the back of his '52 Ford troop truck. It was great to have an opportunity to check it out.

Default Perfect

19 Degrees...no wind (finally). Was a magic day Ryan. Vintage tractor pull was great as well. Below are a couple of other exhibits that may interest forum members.

Ian's carrier has a sweet exhaust note as well.
