That is epoxy primer and single stage urethane

Please tell me which aluminum radiator you are using, electric fan(s) set up and who made the coolant pipe? Thanks

radiator was bought from aluminum-pro on ebay
fans are from a 2000 deville 4.6 v8
upper rad hose was fabricated and powder coated by me.

Since no one has posted about the unwanted step child of the 400 family here's on of my 6.5. Some day I will get it cleaned up and get everything ran and looking nice.

I guess you could call it a CAI, it was really a home made true cowl induction setup.

Man, that SUCKS you had a beautiful truck.

Yes, it was quite devastating, but the Lord had his hand on me that day. Hydroplaned, swapped ends, went across two lanes of traffic at 7:45am (rush hour), missing oncoming traffic but flew over a curb and t-b on ed a tree on the drivers door. I was quite lucky, all I got was a cut on my forehead they superglued together. I bought the truck brand new in '95, dropped it 4/6 the second week I had it. Put those Budnik's on it a week later...Did LOTs of things to it. Went another direction with the replacement, can't leave it alone either...

Glad to hear your weren't seriously injured. Hydroplaning frickin sucks. It happened to me on my way to work at an oil rig dock to catch a boat to an offshore oil drilling rig, back in early 2014. Only months after having my truck painted. At 75 MPH, the rear end just started coming around after hitting a big puddle of water. My truck did a slow 360° spin through the medium with tall grass, and I ended up in the on coming fast lane, looking at a 18 wheeler, and a pickup stopped in there lanes looking at me. Lucky they saw what was going on and were able to stop before I got to close. It could have been a real bad head on collision, thank God they were able to stop. I made a U turn, and headed back to the first turn a round, and went back on my way to work. I had zero damage. Just some tall blad grass under the truck. Hydroplaning is a very strange feeling. You have zero control. All you can do is try to steer into it, and ride it out. I knew I had a real problem, when there was no more help I could do with the steering wheel.
