I know eBay is a crap shoot, like trying to buy quality jewelry from a street vendor, but it appears clean with no corrosion that I can see, and everything is intact including the electric choke.
I'm going to get the book mentioned in the link above but at the moment my truck is missing a radiator. Mine started leaking like a shower head and I found an old school radiator shop that is going to check it out. I already dropped it off but the guy isn't very optimistic about it. In addition to 7 or so big leaks it's got corrosion where the tubes meet the tank. He said they are high pressure leaks and every tube has them. I'm 99% sure I'll end up getting another one.
