Isuzu NPR Front mount questions

For you guys who have done/ seen an isuzu NPR front mounted in an FB, i need to know what was done to that bar that goes across the front inside the air dam?

Mine has the holder from the power steering fluid cooling line, should i cut that off or leave it on?>

Perhaps i should say, that the power steering is long gone, as is the air conditioning....

Thats another good question to which nobody will respond. they will say "Look online" (well no ****, where)

or, "Look in a junk yard" (well no ****, but most junk yards, at least where i live, dont have many isuzu NPR's lying around)

Do you have it already?

If you got the small one, it'll go perfectly where the A/C condenser was.

truck coolers arn't the best idea, there a good cheap alternative but they have a smaller core so the air cools down more but doesnt have alot off flow, and rotaries like air flow..

I don't live far from GA, maybe I should take a trip up there.

If I do, anyone want me to grab a few for them?

Well I wouldnt recommend doing that, people have offered themselves to do things such as that. And ended up being stuck with the item. People in here often say they WANT something and then when you go throigh the trouble and expense to get it. No one wants it, or can pay for it.

Of course, NPR IC's sell fairly well on E bay, so if you really can pick up any size for $100, you could easily turn around and sell them on EBay for $200-$300, if people fell through.

True true, but I would expect a deposit first.

That way everyone is on the square, the most anyone is out is half of the cost.

I appreciate the concern though.

Plus, my GF lives in Atlanta and I use every excuse to go up to GA.

Has anyone checked to see if John's Truck Salvage in NYC has any of them? I passed by it 2 hours ago. It's a pretty good possibility also.
