Ha! I did think about it and I might add a coat of paint later. I just wiped it off for my future test start.

What years are those trucks? Or does it just depend on the engine being used?

I'm just remembering the drops of oil on the garage floor and the smell. I was hoping to solve both of those issues with a PCV conversion. Everyone seems to have a different way to do it, so I'll keep reading/researching. But yes, the truck will probably run just fine the way it was designed.
