Default Old car maintenance: so much easier!

Today I replaced the radiator in my 68 289 Mustang. OMG, I had forgotten just how much easier these old cars are to work on.

There is hardly anything in the way of the bolts and nuts you need to reach. LOL

It is nice working on the older stuff isn't it!!

With the 3" body lift on my K5, it feels like I can close the hood with me under it!

It takes a few hours to change the engine in my '52 half ton, half that to change the head. Try that in a 2002 Blazer!

Here's what spring service looks like: oiling the generator and checking the grease cup in the distributor!
