Overflow Question
Just curious...
My 64 F100's original radiator that I replaced about 15 months ago had some sort of JB Welded hard line contraption that ended into a drip hose connected to the overflow valve nipple at the cap. When I finally replaced the radiator, I left it off thinking I'd address it later. Did the 64 F100 (292) come with an overflow bag or tank and, if so, is it something I should have on there now? It does spew a little coolant sometimes when I shut it off.
If so, bag or tank, and can anyone tell me where I might start looking?
Thanks,
-Mark

Mark, Most of us have learned that the radiator needs a little expansion room in the top. Check it at startup until you are comfortable, but run it and let it puke out what it needs to. As long as you can see fluid or touch it with the end of your finger, you are ok. I will leave it a couple inches down to allow for expansion on any truck that I am working on.
