I did price out some braided/teflon/bling hoses (found them on earls plumbing) instead of the metal ones, only about 500 bones too much for my taste.
And your right, the stock radiator is long gone. I got this thing after somebody did the conversion (poorly I might add) and let the truck sit for 3 or so years. I bought it knowing that just about everything from the electrical to the suspension had to be redone. I was really hoping that the cooling was going to be easier than it has been but alas, Murphy setup shop in my garage.

If anything take the body lift down to an inch and use that area to run those lines. should be real easy with a body lift and a perfect area to tuck those lines running toand from the back. Pluis then they are away from the elements
