Ideas for things to do here?

Ok, so due to recent events, I'm going to take the radiator/support off of our 84 f250. While I've got that off, is there anything I should consider doing?

This is just a dump runner truck, so I'm looking for cheap things worth my time.

Clean up the engine real well, then if there are any leaks, it will be easier to fix them with the radiator out of the way *shrug*

If your oil cooler is leaking it would be easier to R/R without the radiator in the way. I removed the oil cooler from my 6.9l without raising the engine.

Yeah I'll have to take the core support off to, to repair and modify/replace it. (New rad is square, not rectangle)

There seems to be an engine attached to my leak. Grime is so thick it peels
I'll clean it up a bit while everythings off
