Took the radiator to get soldered today. There's an old school rad shop a few towns over who specialize in old cars. Got the Griffin rad that's in my Duster from them. Besides fixing the hole, they boiled it out, repaired one tube and painted it. They said the core was good, flowed well.

I put it back in the truck but didn't have time to finish. Need an upper rad hose too so hopefully I can find one at the parts store.

Didn't realize that it was a big boy 28". I'm sure the 26" I had would have been OK but I stuck with the larger core.

Paperwork should be on its way back as well, hope it gets here before the DMV closes or it'll have to wait until Tuesday.

Thanks for all the compliments. I keep going out to look at it. I really love '70s Dodge trucks!
