Funny you mentioned the radiator thing (well, funny to me - a girl who's never owned a truck and hauled an Airstream before)... the '82 Foe-Fitty-Foe owner noted that it has a huge cooling system & radiator that was originally designed for the diesel (I think he means it's MORE than adequate for the 454?) and how nice that would be for me hauling my long A/S all over the place (no pun intended). This Chevy is all set up for hauling with "heavy duty everything" right down to huge heavy duty tires. He said the truck works for him on a regular basis, hauling hay, trailers, etc. Not sure that's so good to tell a buyer... It wasn't the MINT gem I thought it was *inside* and that "new looking" paint turned out to BE new. But it drove like a charm and a race-car (DANG! it got up and WENT when I barely hit the gas) and it's better than most of the early 90's I saw today. I'm holding off through the week and participating in a truck-shopathon locally tomorrow to make sure I'm not jumping the gun on the '82. It just dawned on me I live in Truck Central. In the mean-time Wendy is teasing me that my Ambassador has been re-called. You guys better give her heck for nearly giving me a heart-attack. That was just plain mean and she's gonna get it. --- Bill Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Steve, you are right.
