A Power wagon was part of the ground team that found the Lady Be Good a B-24 lost for 20 years in the Lybian Desert it was intweresting to read the story and see it in some of the pictures although no really good shots I live here in Ft. Worth, Tx and have driven mine a 50 or 60 miles a stretch in the heat of the summer 100-107 degrees and it was pegged at 160. I reconditioned the cooling system. Put a thermostat in it water pump flushed it and had the radiator cleaned inspected and repainted. Replaced every hose and a new belt. Never given me an ounce a worry about overheating since I am afraid I was hotter than the truck. My 46 didnt have a thermostat when I got it and that was what caused me to do all that work cause it liked to sit up there around 210 degrees and leaked around the thermostat housing if you live here in Texas you knowyou need two things in the summer good cooling and good tires cause the heat aint playing. Good Luck.
