Have you thought about mounting the fans on the other side of the radiator. most electric fans can be set up push or pull i had a Blazer i ran this way worked well.

Thanks there 37s

My M1008

if the h1 wheels have Bean recentered Thea mite be welded in off center (most wear) Spin them on a balancer and see if the wheel wobbles.

I love mine in my 1008 not much help on the noise though the padding is thin at best and only covers foot well areas nothing under the seats.

I agree after building my k5 i don't think i would do it again. With bucket seats the leg room was tight. Id love to find one of the Chalet tops the only times i saw one for sale i didn't have the money.

I built a civilian version years ago. Used the hole cab minus floor pans and rockers cut the back of the cab to fit inside the k5 bed sides.

I like the pressed centers better i think it gives the truck a tough off road look. there is no way i would run a spacer but i have seen them hold up well in some of the worst rock crawling out there.
