Although it has always been said "Model Ts multiply" my case seems to be
F8's & F900's. This one didn't take long to wake up its 20 yrs sleep armed
with a boat gas tank sand blast plugs and a good point filing not even 5
turns the big 337 purrs. Only issue was a bad air leak fixed it was a bad
low air sender. western truck no rust no dents truxmoore suspension.
Only thing is I need an air cleaner and probably impossible to get a
exhaust Y pipe (may have to fab that) Any one have a hint for an air
cleaner. Perhaps a Lincoln car maybe nothing on ebay, and I can't find
Chucks Trucks for the life of me........

I have always loved that you have a fleet of fat fendered beauties still doing what they were meant to do, "work". This wonderful old monkey face should fit right in and feel at home at your place, very nice find, congratulations.
