Hey guys. I am very happy to be a new member here. My name is Jim and I live near Madison, Wisconsin. I have a 1953 f100 with the flathead and the fordomatic. I love the truck!

I could use some advice. My flathead has the smallest amount of bright green radiator fluid in the oil. The oil is not milky and the truck runs great...even on hour long trips. It blows no smoke. I got the truck recently and it had sat for four years previously. I only see the fluid when I change the oil. My concerns are that it may have a blown head gasket or worse, a small crack in the block.

You guys have a lot more knowledge than me. Any assistance is appreciated!
