Joel- I restored a truck once that sat for a long time before I actually drove it. During the process of restoration I left the cap off the radiator. After full assembly of a previously good running truck, I experienced the same thing as you are now. The moral of the story is if you leave the radiator cap off in a cold shop, a MOUSE will find your radiator a great warm place to make a home for the winter. When the radiator was disassembled after much frustration we found a major portion of my seat cusion material inside, along with snacks of acorns and parts of wall nuts. Good luck. You can't make this sort of thing up.....take a good look.
