Radiator "catch cans" are a dime a dozen for square's. But try to find one for the return system. I went through a bunch of year Chevy trucks from a year or two earlier than mine and could not find a "return" bottle except for my year, '74. and all the years up to the late '80's on into the '90's were "overflow" type bottles, can's whatever you want to call them.
What I found that was strange was Chevy had a couple of years like, maybe '72, I couldn't find to many of them in the wrecking yards or '73 and '74 that did have a return system. But all the years after that up to late '80's had a overflow system. Like, they didn't care that the environmentalists would get upset if they knew we were dumping antifreeze on the ground?
I was surprised that Chevy didn't keep the return system. I don't know what was the reason, maybe radiator capasity, or the way the cooling system was designed, or something weird.
