Finally running cool

So after months and months of off n on tinkering with the Scabs cooling system (it was fairly plugged) I can finally drive it without worry of overheating. Yay.! And just in time since winter finally decided to show up. It's a '79 F250 Lariat 4x4. Plan for now is to just drive it on the wknds and scout out needed/wanted parts. I'll upload a pic or 2 in the morning with the good wheels & tires I put on it.

I plan on swapping the doors out to these ones that're off another '79 I've had for along time. I like these towing mirrors so much better. Although they've been pretty well stuck in one spot since I've had the truck.
