Thank you all so very much!

Thanks for all the welcomes! Nice to have a warm welcome
So yesterday morning I went outside to start the truck up and she fired up like any good truck from 1970 will on a cold morning. I then went inside to get my stuff and when I went back outside, there was coolant dripping on the driveway at a steady rate. Dang!
The ol' boy I bought her from has kept records of all maintenance and service he has performed on her. When I looked at his last entry on the coolant page, I saw he wrote in September of this year "Drained, flushed and added new coolant and LEAK STOP" Grrrr Well, the stop leak lasted long enough to pass the test drive!
In 2004 there is an entry for the radiator being repaired, so I didn't figure I'd want to chance another repair. I ordered a new radiator from Advance Auto parts online with a coupon for 25% off If you need a new radiator now is the time. $179 to my door with the coupon code RADX.
So I guess my first little project this weekend will be installing a new radiator
