Steve, what’s that truck under the shed? Is it a GMC General or Brigadier?
Our shop takes the rad, CAC and condensors apart regularly to avoid the situation you describe, we run bug screens (mine’s behind the grille) but the mozzies get through and you get a ‘fur’ over everything, running the mountains in the summer means that we need all the cooling we can get, so every little helps 
I was at that truckshow in the Peg too, I remember that K100, it had twin sticks IIRC. I love my long nose Petes, but I still have a soft spot for a cabover, must be all those years I’ve spent in them.
The BFS T800 was Pete Young’s, very clean, but totally outclassed by the competition, mind you there were some heavy duty show trucks there

Well spotted mark, it’s a 1978 GMC General with Detroit 8V92 engine… nicknamed the screamin demon, and boy does she scream! No front brakes are fitted, over here up untill 78, front brakes were an option! we got it 5 yrs ago with a view to taking the grain box off and fitting it to another truck, but when we first started her we thought we would try her out for a season, been going strong ever since, she does use a drop of oil and the rings are due to be done sometime, the steering wheel is off the titanic and you have to turn it 20 times to make a corner, it still has the air fittings at back of cab from when it was a unit, would have been a good un in 78.
Mark, i am a softy for the cabovers too, though my roots to go back to the scammell highwayman so hoods/bonnets are in the blood.
This Ford was my mates, pic was taken in wellingborough, early 80’s, he had this and i had a new roadtrain on an A plate, with the 290 ■■■■■■■ and i thought it was the dogs gonads, we used to run on the same outfits and run for miles together, could only keep up with him downhill!
Same truck with complete restoration and tag fitted, taken at Donnigton a couple of yrs ago, pic sent to me by a mate of mine
Taken yesterday, highway 34 Manitoba
On the way to some remote place to load fertilizer tanks in southern manitoba yesterday.

The International had to go to the Detroit Doctors in Winnipeg.
Hooked up and ready to go!
This is from last summer, just fetched a new grain cart, though i was out on a job another driver fetched it and said anything faster than 50km it was bouncing all over the road
To get an idea of the size of the grain cart here it is behind one of the quads and me at the back tire!
