That's Winter work Alvin, Summers for crusin' the back roads!
I know what ya mean about hindsight, I had my original radiator flushed out and pressure checked last year and thought seriously about buying a new one just in case. But, I dint and now like you say, the price is doubling.
If I could end my two-year search for one of those 4.10 gears for my 3600 I'd probably try and make the trip to KC my self. That 4.57 has got me strapped to about 13 mpg right now and it would cost me a few hundred bucks for gas to get there and back.
The Valdez spent the first 56 years of her life in Gray, IA, a small town just NE of KC, (pop. 168). She was bought new by them back in 1950 for use as their fire truck and city vehicle and finally auctioned off in '2006 and I got her shortly after that. I'll bet there are still some people left in town that would like to see here again and probably some good stories to be told that involved their city truck. In a small town like that she probably delivered a lot of furniture on the side and hauled a lot of kids around in Fourth of July and home coming parades.
