Re: Fix and Sale 72 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 K2500

Got the bed off of blocks and bolted down to frame again. Got new tires 235/85R16 mounted to the rims and installed. While pulling plugs I bumped the lower heater core hose and it immediately started leaking, so since I only had a few bolts holding on the fender that needs to be painted I dropped the fender down and removed the heater box and core. Then looped the coolant back to manifold so it can still run if needed. I was surprised that it was not full of garbage, pulled the heater core out of the box and the low tube was separated from the core. After inspection I think it is possible to clean up and prep for a re-soldering job. Will give it a try after work today and test for leaks. I did this repair on another truck in the same location on the heater core and it held up well with no leaks.

Things left to do:
-install seat cover when it arrives at end of week
-paint front fender passenger side
-paint rims, front and back bumper and mount
-install trim on bed and re-mount the tailgate and rear lights on drivers side
-try to find some 12" hubcaps for GMC
