It's not a hard job to do on these trucks. Just take your time and be careful with hose little nuts on top of the upper support as they like to be difficult and break the studs off. PB Blaster and patience are your friends as always on an older vehicle. ;)

everything went really smooth. only problem is the radiator I got has a male fitting for the trans cooler and my trans cooler line also has a male fitting. It looks like I could just take the fitting off the radiator, but I don't know whether our not I can do that. I'm going to look into a new line also. Any help on that. please.

 

this has also delayed the start of my project thread.

You could just get a female flair connector at the parts store to connect the line.

 

Best place I found for new cooler lines and seals is here, both for availably and price-
