Welcome, and congrats!

Something you might already know.... with the coolant recovery tank, be sure the radiator cap is for a sealed system.

Re: just recently got a 57 4x4

I'm in! Mine was a mutt. Some napco stuff some later gm stuff. No napco stuff left on mine because it's hard to find. 57 is the best of the 55-59s in my biased opinion! Mine gets a hell of a lot of attention and I'm sure yours will too!
