Re: 1964 GMC 1500 "crustine" semi- build.

Well...what started out to be a simple hose leak turned out to be a week long fight. lol Last weekend I noticed the old lower hose was dripping coolant...so I bought a new one and installed that...refilled...and I noticed its leaking WAY worse than with the OLD hose! So friday I purchase some band clamps....tighten that sucker down....still leaks...swap out the radiator...tighten everything down and drive it most of the day saturday...no leaks....take it out this morning...park it....starts leaking Again. GRR. So I decided to put the brand new radiator I had stashed away for the 66 in there....Clamped that botton hose down until the clamp bolt bottomed out...then went ahead and purchased a new top hose...drove it around...so far so good..and she's running cooler. I tell ya....sometimes this truck is as bad as a stinkin F$$D! See ya!
