Just got back from Pic-A-Part looking for the struts for the trunk like I put on the 66. Can't remember what they came off. Crap. Can't find them, but most of the Ford Explorer, that I think they came from, can't be opened, they are electric! @Ddaddy , Can you measure the ones in the 66? Just length, and the black part. Thanks!

Sure thing. I will be pulling the cover off tomorrow to install the hold down straps, so I will do it it then.
If you could get at it with an air hammer and rattle the drums they might break free.
Worst case-BFH!
Once you pop grease cap you will know if bearings are siezed.

Looks like the radiator in the '66 didn't like the cold temps last night...
uh oh
That won't fit.....
So send it my way....
That's because the anti freeze is set up for fruit and nut land silly!
I just came in from the cold and now I feel tired!
Or wait a minute is that car a girl Dave?
I hope it didn't freeze and crack anything
If so Tim gave you a pregnant one and it is lactating! How else dose one leak from the front?

Just doing what I do
The anti-freeze is 50/50 Prestone which should have been fine. I suspect it was a seam failure due to differential contraction of the metal in the cold. It is a re-cored radiator and I think they used an aluminum core with brass tanks.
Check the hose clamps....fresh install and cold will get you every time.
Gotta watch the latest coolants on the parts store shelves, some is premix.

All good advice. I will check it tomorrow and see if I can tell where it's leaking from. Tim said it was 50/50 so I figure the coolant should be fine.
So not lactating? Crap I wanted to see pics!
Brand new Rad. Might be from overflow? 900.00 to get recored with copper.
