Petcock is on the bottom corner of the radiator drives side right above the frame rail. You might want to get a replacement petcock they are fragile and break easy.

I found it Thanks 👍. Now I wonder what rocket scientist placed it where it will drain onto the frame and all over the floor making a big mess, I guess I will drain it out in the driveway and try and catch as much as possible and let the rest soak into the gravel and maybe kill some weeds.
