Doing what it's supposed to
After a year and a half of running the OG radiator that I had found in the back of the Burb when I bought it, never having it boiled or checked, it finally sprung a leak under the top tank....corrosion or maybe a small rock. Thankfully it was up high and didn't dump all of the coolant on my long trip. I called the radiator shop yesterday and forewarned them that an antique was coming in for an overhaul, hopefully they can re-core it and not force me to go aluminum. I have put 26,000 miles on it since last December when the built 250 went in, prior I had no speedo cable with the other 2 engines. So, not bad for a ' find it in the back of your purchase and run it" radiator.
Good news, I get to haul it with another Chevy, the 65 I'm building for my wife's shop truck. looks like its my shop truck still . . . http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=597187 |
