I'm really curious, what's the dealer ice scraper look like?

^ I'll get a pic for you tonight.

So the truck overheated last week on my way home from class. I replaced the fan belt, got a new thermostat (there wasn't one in there), and found a hole in the lower radiator hose. I'm changing that out tonight. There's a 78 in a scrap yard that I want to go look at tomorrow. I need to find 16" wheels and a new hood.

Oh and I got the brakes done. Master Cylinder was the problem.

Welcome from the Midwest. Nice starter project. Google 16.5 truck tire ,, they are out there ,but pricey as all new tires are

Got the new hose on, was bleeding it and found that its leaking from the transmission cooler lines. I found a video on Youtube and think I can just replace the O rings? Is this correct? Or should I just replace the lines? I'm probably just going to do the radiator and the overflow tank as well.

Somebody in my apartment complex broke the front wing window on the drivers side....so that's great. Im probably going to throw a piece of pexiglass in it for now. How are the windows from LMC truck?

I local glass company should be able to replace this for you. You just need to know if the glass is clear or shaded.

So the leak isn't the transmission cooler lines. Water pump? Going to do a compression test first just to rule out worse case scenario. If so, the whole cooling system is being replaced while im at it. Head gasket wouldn't be a bad winter project though.
