    So i have an 80 pickup and i want to put a skid plate on the front. My only problem is that the radiator seems to be to low. I could move it up but i wouldn't want to start getting over heating problems. Any suggestions?

    electric fans. it means you can put the radiator anywhere you can reach hoses to, including in the bed
