Found out that the radiator has a leak in the top neck on the right. Going to attempt to repair with soldering. I have a little over 20 years experience with soldering copper, but never brass. So I will thoroughly clean and prep area, use flux and a good solder. If all else fails and I can not fix I replace with a Rock Auto with a VISTA-PRO 433369 radiator for $111.79 link
here. I did call around to local shops minimum would be $75 so for the difference I will just get a new one if needed.
Will start on the inner rocker/outer floor and rocker replacements this weekend. Install the repaired heater controller, replaced the middle lever with one I found on ebay.
Running total so far for the truck expenses:
-purchase price $1100
-starter $59
-rag joint $23
-parts ordered $402
--inner rocker/outer floor x2, rockers x2, sill plates x2, lower door skin, front cab support x2, fuel sender, shifter knob, armrest x2, dash pad, heater control switch, rear light kit
TOTAL $1584
