..............after trying a few rads I had from parted out kits I made my own with some photo etch mesh ,strip styrene and the Autocar fan shroud with some alterations,used some parts from the Acar to make a fan hub bracket . There was enough material in the 3d print interior tub to hog out and not punch through for the little bit I needed for compressor clearance .I fitted the grill to the rad shell,,this will be painted white with a black wash in the screen and the Brockway logo chromed and installed after cab paint. For rubber I'm going to use the Autocar's front floats(I have a few floats from Jamie and ST Paul but they are wayyy big) and the rears are from Jamie, the rims will be Dove Gray and spokes semi gloss black . I'm fitting all the assy's on the 71 now and running fuel lines etc. take a pic after paint

Attached and modified the front bumper and bumper to fender filler plates to the front clip and used the Autocar front fender support brackets. Made up some rear motor mounts and that should give me some room to mount the compressor to the accessory drive and still have clearance on the front axle to oil pan. The Mack radiator is too big,,I have one from an L-8000 ,,see if I can get it inside the shell far enough for fan clearance,,, once I have that figured out I'll finish up the engine details and get that painted Alpine Green 😉
