Was it using coolant right away? If so he probably knew. If not and it
took a while before

I don't think so. He was on Diesel, then took a temporary assignment in
Mexico. He was looking at 350SDLs and gassers, don't remember if he bought
one.

It is very common to take a donor passenger seat and to combine parts

happy, especially if you are going to make long trips
in that car.
