I have moved all the junk to get radiator out without cutting the side rail. But that is a pain.
There are photos of this out there. Saw the sides, use door hinges or other methods to make radiator removal easy
For someone 15 years from now.
When Nick Chapekis needed to get his radiator out, we looked at all the possibilities long and hard. His is a 77 or 78 Buskirk and it has all the bells and whistles. In the end, we went with cutting the frame and screwing in stainless hinges. The hardest part both ways was the transmission and lube oil cooler lines. Going back in was simple except for making up the upper hose connection.
