Mike, I think you'll find a lot of us drive our trucks on a regular basis.
I have had my truck, a '54 F20, for just less than a year, and while I
haven't driven ol' Grover a lot yet, I have every intentions of making the
truck a frequent, if not daily, driver. I have been driving vintage
vehicles for over 20 years, if for no other reason than the fact I could
not afford anything but an old car for a long time.
Many of my co-workers have looked at me in horror when I would tell them
that I was driving one of them on vacation or back home to visit (a 750
mile trip, one way) because a lot of people seem to think "old" and
"decrepit" mean the same! Believe me, when I have Grover fixed up, I'll not
only drive to any show I attend, but when I need to haul 3/4 of a ton of
gravel, I'll load the bed down!
An old truck may need more frequent maintenance, but if and when they do
break down, they are a lot easier to diagnose and repair. I say find the
truck you want, and drive it! I do!

Three weeks ago a vote was put up on the web site. The issue:
adding a performance orient truck list. It won by a large
margin:

In Favor: 82%
Against: 11%
Don't Care: 5%

List member Keith Srb is going to administer this list. He
should be starting soon. No date yet, I've gotten a little
behind with extra work and my son's 1st birthday party.
I'll post subscribe instructions when the list is ready to
go live.

Additionally, please not that this list will cover performance
issues for **all** years and models. This isn't going to
be the place to discuss tune-ups, but if you're considering
a radical cam you'll like it.

Subject: All Ford Reunion at Ford of Canada in Oakville

For list members interested in a get together in Canada, I received
information about the All Ford Reunion in southern Ontarios. This
seems like the perfect opportunity. Can one of our Canadian members
take on the job of organizing a lunch or some other sort of gathering....
