Drained the radiator on my '51 3100, removed the leaking 'new' (really) heater core from my '51 3100, stuck the two hose ends together and shut off the by-pass heater valve at the water pump. Now the shut off valve is leaking!! What the heck?? Classic Parts sent me a new core to replace the leaker with, but I decided I'm going to leave it out to repaint and install a 12 volt fan motor before I stick it back in. Also found the bed-to-running board skirts upper screws are no longer attached. I'll have to weld some flange metal to them when I pull things apart to repaint.

Checked my window that no longer is staying in it's channel when rolled down to see what's up. (Need new felt to re-stick it back in...later. Wanted to check the tranny and rear diff. oil, but decided it was not level enough on my "work shop on a hill" (my front curb), so I stopped there.
