Morning all, I hope everyone has a great day.

Radiator estimate without seeing it was $100 but once I got it out I believe it will be much more.
MavSprint has offered to sell and ship me his. will cost about what the initial estimate of fixing mine was.
I think I will be better off getting Mav's. I found shop tags on mine so it has been rebuilt before.
The gas gauge reads up to 1/2 tank. I won't know if it will properly read under 1/2 until I can drive the truck again.
I can't get at the sending unit until I am better because of the tool box on top.
Then I can see about adjusting the float to read properly.

 

Nobody has a radiator for a 43 year old truck eh? Looks like it is rebuild time.

I know, WTF is up with that.
I am getting the one from MavSprint and will take them both to the shop and see what they say.
I believe mine will be around $300 or more to fix properly.
The one I get from him I will have boiled and tested prior to install.

as far as new progress, I have new turn signal switch and steering rag joint to pick up tomorrow.
Now I just need to get over the surgery so I can do all this freaking work on my truck.

 

I know how you feel. it is never any fun getting over a surgery. Sounds like your truck will be getting a lot of tlc over the next few days though. That is always good. I have to get some preventative maintenance done on mine soon or it will start throwing a tantrum.

well it looks like my trip to the pick-a-part has been postponed until Saturday.
I looked on their site and have almost no hope of finding anything below about an 85 truck.
Most of the parts I need are small enough to fit in a $5 flat rate box from the post office.
So if anyone has a parts truck or yard nearby I can send a part list and will reimburse.(hint hint Pat )

 

OK you guys and gals, if I am stuck on the couch I expect some entertaining conversation!
You can't just leave me here talking to myself. That never ends well.

 

Greg, Talking to yourself is totally OK ... arguing with yourself ... and losing is not good !!! Sorry just had to do it !!!!

 

I try not to argue, but to have a discussion and work things out in a civil manner.

 

Hi amigos y amigas!

No jacket today! Flowers starting to poke through.

 

Hi & goodnight everyone,
