Re: Comp rego

club rego is really more for cars. thers a bunch of restrictions that are easier to get around in a toughy opposed to a comp truck. having been in various car clubs i also thought about that option for my truck as its about to turn 30 years old. conclusion, save up and buy a trailer!

v8 cooling

i have a 350 chev in my 75 ute and went with the orig radiator and mounted a thermo to it. first drive it was hovering between 200-220. im thinking its too small a setup and maybe junking it and getting a tray mounted radiator. what are these worth and does anyone in the ipswich area do them? thanx
