Love it, Arizonains with weather where the lows are greater than the highs for those of up on the central coast of Ca. Here I set with an early morning fire while the residents of the great state of Arizona bask in the hot weather. What a dilemma, me waiting for it to warm up and Arizonians waiting for it to cool off. Guess it's all relative, a native Ca. whos's a wanabe Arizonian.

My sister is a native Californian, has lived in Scottsdale Arid-Zone-A since 1973.
Just after she moved there, I made the mistake of visiting her in August. Not only was it hotter than hades, but August is 'monsoon' season. Tropical storms in Mexico move north into Arid-Zone-A, take up residence.
Gazillions of gallons of rain pour down on unsuspecting peeps. Two week vacation in Arid-Zone-A was ruined. The only day it didn't rain like "cats and dogs" .. was when I was in Tombstone.

Look on your 1964 F250 4WD's Warranty Plate, what is the wheelbase, 120, 122 or 128 inches? From the pics I looked at, it came with the Styleside 'wrong bed' originally.
Rare de Dion Bouton and circa 1905 Cadillac you have.
The Cadillac Motor Car Co. was originally named the Ford Motor Company! Henry left the company in 1902 before a single car was made, then founded a new company in 1903 that exists today.
The money men at Cadillac hired Henry Martyn Leland as President and Chief Engineer. Leland renamed the company after the founder of Detroit, French explorer Walter de la Motte Cadillac.
In 1916, Leland left Cadillac, founded a new company, naming it after his favorite President. The Lincoln Motor Co. was born.
In 1922, Lincoln went bankrupt, the only bidder for the company in US Bankruptcy Court was...Henry Ford.

I helped a friend in Chicago cure the Jaguar B/W trans blues a long time ago, we installed a Pontiac 389 Tri-Power with a hydromatic. No more trans issues. Then we had to do some magic with the brakes. That was a fast Jag XK140.

Back to Ariz. heat for a comment. I lived in Phoenix ten year and prospected everywhere. Here is a life saving rehydration recipe. I got it from a doctor. It is used world wide to save Cholera victims and is the fastest way to recover from dehydration.
In one quart of water....
1 tsp salt
8 tsp sugar
Add up to 1 cup juice for flavoring. The juice is not necessary.
Call me spoiled but I use 1/4 cup sugar which is 12 tsp.
