Tyler Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 My radiator was leaking at the plastic to core seam. So I bought a new heater core and full aluminum welded radiator from Rock Auto. Found some neat stuff in the ducting. Sunglass frame, a piece of melted gum, pencils, a pen, a set of keys, pieces of dead trees and a lighter. Looks like a little gnome was about to have himself a campfire. I need to reseal the firewall thanks to a very old gasket. Also the cab seam while everything is out. I found a gasket set on detroit muscle technologies for an AC truck. None on LMC or Broncograveyard... If you know how I can get a new foam gasket set, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm probably just going to seal it with some gasket maker. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramttocs Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hey Tyler - I'd sent James (the guy at Detroit) the gaskets below from a non-AC truck (hi-output technically) back in June but he wanted the case to ensure the ones he makes will fit correctly. I never got around to taking a sawzall to the jy and cutting the gasket mounting surfaces. I can put that on my list but I doubt that will happen or they will get made within the timeframe you need. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 And that's quite the collection you found in there Yes, quite a collection. Will be good to have it clean. And something like The Right Stuff will work nicely to make the gaskets - if you can't get real ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzFace2 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Other than Detroit Muscle Technologies I don't think any one makes anything for our trucks. I have used DMT kit on my 70 AMC Javelin and the fit was great. Give DMT a call as they may not list the kit on line but may have them. Good luck Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
