1981 f-250 mini project

Ok, a while back I posted about freeing My 400 and I got good feed back (thanks guys!)
Anyhow today she freed up and I drained the 8 year old oil, threw some 40 weight in for the first run tomorrow after I swap the starter... Gotta make a run to napa for plugs and a starter in the morning! I guess I could call this a project thread?

Looks better now that it's not sitting out in the field.

Yep! The motto "while I'm doing this maybe I should do this too"

seems like it's hard to find a good truck anymore after 30 years of scrapping and being beat to death by farmers like us... They are still kickin though
