Awesome! Looks like I will be loading up and heading out around 1 so I can pick the little one up at 4. Looking forward to meeting everyone on Saturday.
White smoke out the tailpipe is normally a good indicator of a blown H/G or cracked head. Did it push coolant out once warm? If started cold with the rad. cap off does the coolant bubble gurgle out of the filler neck?
Make sure its a 12V block, and wasn't a hack job. Other than that, if all the gauges work, and the electrical is operational, sounds like a great deal to me (I built a 12V Chevy 3500 dually a few years back)
