If it's running hot put in a 4 row. Make sure the shroud fits tight to the rad and seals to it. Make sure the fan is about halfway into the shroud. Run a good clutch fan or an electric. Flex fans like to come apart. Fan performance is optimal with about half the blade in. With all that and a good t-stat it shouldn't overheat in any weather period.

there is no heat light on my 1970 c10 the gauge wire was attached to the right rear sending unit when purchased the heads are oversized I believe my problem came from a faulty sending unit because pressure cap never released regardless of gauge reading lets move on
