My Gen2 here in OZ has one, but I don't remember one in my Raider. If there isn't, I'll pick up the stuff and install one when I make it back to the U.S.

I may be wrong, but I don't think any of the Gen1 SWB trucks had an oil cooler as original equipment. I've installed one from a LWB on my SWB, but had to make the brackets to bolt it in place on the headlight side.

Be sure to get the long bracket that goes from the driver side of the cooler to the radiator support/latch mount. Also, you'll want to get the hoses, hose banjo bolts, misc clamps, bolts, vibration standoff and the thermostatic valve for the bottom of the oil filter adapter.

All you should need to fabricate are 2 small "L" brackets to mount to the side of the headlight area.

That should cover it. I would not have known all the bits that I needed.

Thank you Frank!!

Here's a thread I started about installing the oil cooler from an SQ into my '89 SWB:

I only had to drill a hole in the bracket on the oil cooler, and used an existing bracket on the front side of the radiator. Cut off the metal tubes and used new rubber oil lines and double-clamped the ends. The pics show the results. Since mine is a manual trans, there was lots of room to work with on the front side of the radiator. If yours is an automatic, maybe not so much...

Different engine, but the process should be the same. Thanks!!

The easy way on the Gen1 is to drill 2 holes in the side of the headlight area on the radiator core support and bend 2 aluminum "L" brackets to bolt to the 2 holes on the passenger side of the cooler. When you get ready to install it, let me know and I'll post a picture of mine. Brendan and I did the drilling, bending and installing in a few minutes.

Why don't the SWB's come with this from the factory????

I don't know - maybe some did, but I haven't seen one.

Mine did not have the curved bracket welded to the headlight area of the radiator core support, so I assume that none of the SWB trucks were prepped for the option.

However, the standoff mount for the cooler lines IS welded to the passenger inner fender and all you need to secure the lines to the inner fender is the clamp and bolt. The hole for the long bracket stay on the driver side is already in the hood latch bracket and all you need for that side is the stay and a couple of bolts.
