Very nice ride! Your daughter should be proud.

As for the temp gauge, when I got my truck the temp gauge didn't work at all. Eventually discovered the PO (my late uncle) replaced the 195 degree thermostat with a 165. I installed a 190 thermostat and it reads "cool" all the time now. (I suppose, down the road, I'll try a 195.)

My truck used to be my grandfather's when I was a child. I remembered wanting the truck, now it's mine. I like how yours has what appears to be the original AC. Does it work?

My grandparents lived in Northern California. No AC needed there. I live in AC, and would love to have it. But I cringe at the thought of all the chopping necessary!
