Nice!!! Take plenty of pics!
Good morning fellas...
Yesterday wasn't so Sunday "Funday" woke up early to drive the Comanche around to get fluids and tires rolling...
First start up 5 seconds later huge puddle on the floor(antifreeze)....
Yeah...I gotta take everything apart and make sure it's not a head gasket...
But noticed a few things...missing an exhaust manifold bolt, loose intake manifold bolt....

Well it ended up being the water jet freeze plugs on the head...I cleaned it off and shook the truck and antifreeze just started coming out...
I need to sit down and take some time as to what should I do next think about what I should do...

Yeah but I'd rather replace it than to happen to me again if I were to be driving it....or in the driveway like it did to me
I'll try that when the parts come in...if not I'll be removing the head

It's easy and there's no way you can screw it up. Shouldn't have to remove the head at all.
