Does this daily repair stuff ever end with these old trucks? I buy a new radiator cap last week, and Tuesday the radiator blows a gasket (actually popped a solder joint I suppose). Died anyway.
The one radiator shop that answered the phone said $50-150 depending on what's needed. Thanks. So I bought a new one from Amazon (Prime) for $127 with 2-3 day Prime shipping. Same exact radiator sold by Rock Auto and on eBay and other online places. Now I'll go to Auto Zone and pick up some hoses & coolant. Wonderful.
To answer my own question: NO, the tinkering/repairs never end.
