Had to fill it in a bit to make it fit. The capillary tube was also too short for my original mounting spot for the air unit, so I had to move it closer to the controller, which led to cutting and flattening some of the firewall... snowball.hutcho wrote:Dude I was gonna do the same thing on the heater controls!! Glad to see it fits and looks great! Thanks for sharing.

What's your impression of the Raptor Liner? I'm planning on spraying the interior of my 83 Wagoneer with it.glake wrote:Got the bed lined. I used Raptor liner. Their truck bed kit is not enough for a long bed J truck. I had to go back and get a second kit. Ended up using 7 quarts to get good coverage.

Covered the floor and firewall with Tite Seal from Home Depot and then covered the entire area with foil insulation.

Made my Home Depot headliner using indoor/outdoor carpet glued to foil insulation. The foil made it rigid enough to to get up there, and yet flexible enough to manipulate into place. Once it was up, I pried it down in the back, shot spray glue on the ceiling and headliner back, and stuck it back up there. It came out pretty good. Hopefully the glue will hold up and it won't sag on me. I used the 3M high-strength glue that says it will withstand high temp.[img]http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg509/Gerald_Lake/Gladiator/IMG_1243_zpsegn79inr.jpg[/img]

Finished up carpeting the cab. I decided to use the same indoor/outdoor carpet. Can't beat carpeting the entire cab and ceiling for $30.

Since I've sprayed, it's hardened up nicely. Seems to be a good product. After closer inspection, I have a few areas that are light coverage, but that's probably my fault since I've never sprayed bed liner before. I've still got one quart left and might pick up one or two more and touch up with a brush and roller.Matt24601 wrote:glake wrote:What's your impression of the Raptor Liner?

Also, you said you used 7 quarts for good coverage. Any ideas on the size relationship between your bed and a Waggy floor?

The radiator support on both my Gladiator and 63 Wagoneer did not provide enough room for an aftermarket radiator. I noticed on a later model Wagoneer (84, I believe) that a buddy and I picked up for parts, that the radiator support was notched. The radiator is a universal from Summit Racing, part #SUM-381328. I got the largest I could get to the width of the support opening. It also has a built in trans cooler. The shroud is also a universal from Summit, part #SUM-380328-SH. It's basically a model that you put together to fit. It took some trial an error to get it right as you can see from the extra holes in the bottom.randyre wrote:What is the fan shroud you're using? Can you expound a little on the fitment of the radiator. Jeep Buick Rads are like hens teeth now, and the shroud doesn't exist at all, would be nice to have an option if it doesn't require too much fabrication and chopping.
