You got a sweet looking truck no doubt. I believe I had been eye balling this same truck as it was posted on craigslist in the Cincinnati area for awhile. I hope it brings years of joy to you.

Nice.
I was in Cincinnati, Ohio. Now I am in Toronto, Canada. I'll start a new thread pertaining to the coolant cap as not hijack your thread. :) |
Here's a useful tip...
Pulling the bottom radiator hose can make an unholy and hazardous mess. Get 4 feet of 5/8" OD hose and siphon the coolant out of the top of the radiator. That will get you well below the thermostat. If you need to drain the entire system then pull the bottom rad hose. I use a brass fill plug to avoid the situation you encountered with the plastic version. These trucks are all now officially 'old' and all rubber and plastic is brittle. |
Walt How much to siphon out of the rad? What is OD? thanks |

If you are just doing a thermostat, removing one gallon would be plenty.
