Hey JP,
That's a wonderful ride over to your dad's place. Love your
yellow truck patina...thanks for posting the video. I really enjoyed it.

The roll back at the stop is classic and only can be replicated with a original old truck. You had to drive that truck. Thanx for the ride down memory lane.

That was great JP. I enjoyed the whole thing.
And your Dad has a 'new' Ford truck too.

Hey, does anyone know how I can load a MP4 video on here? I don't have a YouTube account and don't have a Google account either - and Photobucket does not support that file type either.
It look like the 'attachments' section of creating a post here will allow MP3's but not MP4's.
I have a video taken last week of a short drive in my F2 from my wife's fancy camera phone.
Thanks for any suggestions anyone.
Tom

Sounds like you need to put some of that new quiet oil in your transmission. Dennis

Anybody notice, due to the unseasonably warm weather we are having here in Southern Indiana, JP had the AC on (cowl vent was open).

Nice video, and thanks for sharing. Will have to do one in Gertie soon. The transmission and rear in that old F-2 really whines, and the dual glass packs adds their own music.

What you can't see is I had both wing windows open as well.

That's his '74 F100 that he uses to tow his '64 falcon to the dragstrip.


Between the two of us, we have a real bad (good?) habit.

I know this is not what you expected but it is a good "Headsup". I installed a dash cam in my 46 Tudor for just this reason. You will notice a STOP sign in the snap shot. I had my directional on and I have don't have a stops sign.
You have heard me say " You can't fix stupid"

No, I didn't get hit but I will be avoiding this intersection in the future. I'm taking this picture to the town's police department to alert them of a problem.

It seems like people don't observe traffic laws and signs in mall parking lots, especially shoppers that are excited about getting there to find their bargains!

Jason (JP), thanks for that great video of your truck. It's especially neat to see it climbing that hill after seeing your truck at Truckstock 2017.
