Late model Cascadia hood on a early Century/Columbia or older Cascadia?

Yes, it can be done. But I don't recommend doing it.

Same truck...... big job.

 

Just because you guys brought this up I'm curious what all is involved with that.

The Columbia nose has a good slope to it so what all did you have to do as far as the radiator and the radiator mounts and the fan...

If you move the front axle forward you have to have a rear sump oil pan...

But I am curious what all is involved in that- that's crazy!

Very cool and custom but that's got to be a lot of work.

 

We just left the Columbia radiator, fan, CAC, radiator mounts, etc in the original location.
I don't remember if the Coronado hood matches up exactly with the air cleaner intake. Too long ago since we did this.

Yes, rear sump oil pan instead of front sump pan.


Channeled and boxed front part of the frame, fabricated new front cross member, frame extension, front hood and bumper support brackets.
Moved front suspension hangers and shock mounts forward.
Left steering box in place and made a custom shorter drag link.
And way too many other small things.

Most of the fabrication work was done by a friend of mine. I'm sure he remembers much more of it, but I don't want to remind him......
