i saw on here where vinegar is good at cleaning farmall radiators just wondering if it would work in a 1965 Ford F-100, 1969 Chevy C-30, and 1972 Chevy C-30

yup, it will work fine. it is very mild cleaner, and will not harm the cooling system like the stronger chemicals do. learned that trick from rich....aka...."old"

Years ago, way before the internet was in our homes, I was having problems with my '76 F-100. An old-timer mentioned the vinegar trick, so I drained the radiator and refilled with vinegar. The vinegar loosened up the crud inside the engine good enough that ended up replacing 2 frost plugs because they had rusted out from the backside, but the crud kept them from leaking. No problems after that.
