Seeing as how the truck says City of Phoenix Police on it, they probably got it prior to the ABS/radial tire upgrade. (1999?)

Reminds me of when I was young and broke. I fixed a number of radiators by crimping and soldering, even breaking out heavily damaged sections of the channels and folding over and soldering. The key is to get it clean enough and use flux to get the solder to flow out. I went looking for a picture and found a fun post on radiator repairs. Searching "pliers to break the water channels" should return one hit. I don't know that I would do this sort of thing as a permanent repair on a 5-ton to be driven on the road, but it might be good enough to seal it up while you sort out other issues and prove the truck out. Hang in there, this does not seem like that bad of a situation...

sorry for the delay, house hunting coupled with the heat and wife and 4 daughters.... ANYWAYS, took a few pics the other day, but i was being rushed by the above. i'll get one of the ac interior and top side when i'm there again. probably be a month or 2 before things settle down and i can really get around to messing with much, house repairs will come first...good news is we found a house and are in escrow. bad news is i paid the same amount for 1/2 the house in north phx vs what i could have gotten in south phoenix, but at least my daughter will get a quality education.

no i got a good deal, just could have gotten so much more if the kid's schools weren't a factor. i would rather have less house and have my kids actually speak fluent English (that forgotten language the minority speak now?)

well, the local guy on here that was going to sell me a radiator decided to change his mind and keep it. and then the next day the person i rent my storage yard from informed me that it was sold and i have 30 days to clear all my stuff out. so, this (and nearly everything else) has found it's way to craigslist, while i look for another yard. the 6x6 is the main thing i have NOWHERE to store it however, so it's either get rid of it or get another yard ASAP.

I wish I lived close to you. I removed, repaired, and reinstalled my radiator by myself. I could never think of replacing it unless it had a 1 foot wide hole in it. I'm sorry I can't run over there and help you.

i had no issue pulling it and replacing it, but the guy who was "selling me one" decided yesterday that he wasn't going to sell it now. pretty crappy in my opinion, guess i shouldn't have waited so long but i've had a string of bad luck and busy with wrecked trucks and insurance companies lately.

We all have those times when it seems nothing will go our way.
Cheer up it will get better.

Self storage places usually have parking places they'll rent for $50ish per month. A short term solution if not a longterm one...

that would get very pricey though. worse yet is, as it stands, the 6x6 has to be towed....

I used to own a house in New River AZ (north of Care Free off 17)........there is ALOT of rental space for boats, campers, 6x6's........find an MV friendly lessor and wouldn't be surprised if you get a great deal.

I'm in Tucson and willing to towbar it with you for the actual fuel cost there and back, Assuming you can't find a better local option (I'm fairly certain that you can).
Too bad your 2,000 miles away from me in Wisconsin. I'd take the truck off your hands. Hauling it would cause me to have too much into it. I am keeping an ear to the rail to see if there are any reasonable hauling possibilities. Tough luck on your troubles. I did see what I believe some radiators coming up on a certain auction site. I shall verify that auction. PM me if you want the info.

Can I ask for more info/pics on the roof mount AC unit? I want one badly (would buy yours if selling!). Thanks.

Neophyte: i've been scouring craigslist.
98G: thanks, but i think by the time i paid for fuel costs (which is absolutely a fair request) i'd probably be over what a landoll would charge.
trukhead: i'll check the sites, i'm sure shipping it would be horrible.
74m35a2: i'll try to remember to take more, what do you want specifically?

Saw your ad on Craigslist last week then it disappeared. My son and his friend where interested and got your phone as it said text only, but email only on add. Eggs or pepper can seal a hole and smell like breakfast!

it's still listed....all i've had is one guy with an out of state number who stopped responding, one guy telling me his friend thinks i'm a 'fag', and a couple emails, which i have returned. i removed my number due to the child who kept texting me things stating i was a 'fag'. if they want to see it, tell them to contact me, i'm happy to show it.
