Great to see another flatty on the road! What's wrong with that radiator?

You appear to be missing the looms for the spark plug wires, they'd really clean up the wires.There are two types, the "cloverleaf" is later models.

Hey Bob,
Well that's a nice truck! What are you thinking for the bed?
Do you plan to work it? That would look good in the Apple parking lot!

Is it the photo or are you seeping a little axle lube one the left side? I the one photo from the rear it looks looks a drip on the backing plate onto the rim and down the tire.

Good eye Mark. Looks like a dribble of some sort. Drool maybe from someone who was there earlier?
