I talked to a buddy. I don't trade much at Walmart. He said they wouldn't play, so I took it to Interstate Batteries -- where I've been getting batteries lately. I was going to use it for the core charge on one of theirs. I told the store guy about the 2/24 sticker, he said it might still be a good battery. He put the Cell Checker on it and it rang out good. So they're gonna charge it overnight and see if it takes a charge. So I'll still have to take my'68 Orange Stepside or my '71 GMC Jimmy to work tomorrow.
For the OP's situation, I agree with the concensus, that you want a battery from a reliable dealer with nationwide stores and open 7 days a week, especially if using the truck for touring.
