at least noone got hurt... on the way back from a show, the radiator cap blew off my dads '72 C10 and leaked all the coolant, we didn't notice till the gauge pegged. managed to get some water out of a small stream near the road ( no it wasn't the ditch ).. limped to the next town and got antifreeze and some water... what actully happened is the radiator cracked and broke where the cap clicks on so it wouldn't hold.. had to fill it up a few times but we got it home....

My '51 Chevy's shake down cruise will likely be to the carshow.. just hope it don't break down, altho I know it's possible.. it's only 10 miles away to the place where it is held, and our AAA service covers up to 50 miles.
