That is what I did most of my life, And enjoyed it for a lot of years. The new cars and trucks are light years different than the old ones. What we did with an engine oscilloscope is now done with a lap top telling you what is wrong. Not my cup of tea anymore.

A better picture of what I started with. I didn't mention that the original engine had been pulled out. And it had been laying in a clump of trees for the past 30 years. I had to cut my way into the trees to rescue it for restoration. Ford pre resto.jpg

Awesome pics...amazing how spartan trucks were back in the day..compared to today..
They were very basic, compared to the luxury of today's limousines. The old one feels like driving a wagon, not station but horse drawn LOL. But the old one cost. $1,900 out the door. compared to $60,000 to $80,000 Now days. A crazy change.

That is out of the greatest period of my life. I had know worries, or concerns about anything. Life was Great.I was 5 years old when this truck was purchased. The first time I rode in it sitting next to Grandpa. Watching Him row through the gears on the column. I was mesmerized by it. I will carry that vision to the grave.
