    Yes
    Depending on what the top cap of the radiator is made of it can definitely be re welded or re sweat to bond it back together again but it needs a pro's touch IE: not your neighbor 5 beers into a sixer with a Harbor Freight mig :)

    Part of my order from Low Range has been delivered today. I'm kinda pissed because I woke up to an email from them this morning saying that they do not have the other part of my order in stock and they hope to have it shipped out by the end of the week. When I ordered the parts it said they were in stock. Oh well they just better get here by the beginning of next week. I'll have some good shizz to post later tonight.

    I'm guessing part of it is high steer.

    and a dual case adapter and/or 4.7 gears

    Although I should probably order a dual case adapter and some gears to go with it.

    I'm gonna wait on hi-steer until I have all the parts for a RUFF and Chevy swap.

    Well the jokes on me. I was sent a bougus tracking number instead of being told they weren't shipping my stuff out. Nothing like driving 30 miles in the snow one way to get to UPS to not have anything to pick up.

    Yeah yeah yeah lol. So I need to pick up a dual case adapter, new gears, a triple stick conversion kit, heavy duty shifter spring, and what else? Bolt the case adapter to the front of the t-case with the 4.7's in it correct? I've been reading for hours and now my brain hurts.

    I have a shift spring for you, don't worry about that.

    Dual case adapter
    Gear set if you want it really slow
    Rad designs triple shifters (unless you want to wait 3 months for Dave'z)

    You could get some triple drilled flanges to make it easier bolting up custom driveshafts, but it might be just as easy to redrill yours only if you need to.

    And remember you need to modify the shift rails for the triple shifters, just like a twin stick which is the same thing.

    Badass runner man. I like the original color too. I'll have one of these one day, I love that body style.

    What I might do is get it all put together and wait on the 4.7's. I feel like it wouldn't be too dificult to take it apart and upgrade the gears (I know it isn't as easy as it sounds).

    They need to be lower right? So they clear the tunnel?

    Thanks man! I would love to get it repainted the same color one day, but I can't justify the costs if it is my wheeler.
