In Washington there are a ton of late '67-79 Ford trucks on the road. It's hard to not find one.

Google up the Langley Good Times Cruise In. It's an annual car show we hold, which is huge, but every Friday there are classic car meets all over town. People here love their old cars.

Yeah defiantly jealous of the amount of good solid trucks in Washington I actually bought mine in skagit.
Never been to the Good times show will have to go check it out. I do try to make it to the coastal swap had some good luck there.

Chucked the valve cover on the mill. Faced off some of the fins. Found out the hard way that the casting is not as thick in the center so I'm going to have a patch tigged in.

Trozei are you going to install an old hood emblem on your valve cover? Like maybe a 1956 F100?
