I was around flathead trucks as a kid but never had one for myself. Most of the farmers and the older generation still had 40's and 50's trucks that they still used and the motors always seemed to run so smoothly when they were tuned up. Weren't fast but they were always steady.
Only spent $120 at the auction but I picked up some personal items this time.

Good morning Grant, John, Perry and all who lurk here.
Another chilly morning, -30 windchill again.
The very first vehicle I drove was dad`s 53 F350, I still have some great memories of those days.

The weather weenie was actually wrong today, it was cold!, tomorrow it's supposed to break 0 and keep it up for 5 days.
I've just have always wanted a flathead hot rod, one thats as light as possible so that you don't need a ton of horse power.

Good day everybody.
My stock 53 M100 with the flattie doesn`t have a ton of power but it is easy to push by hand.
Back at you Grant, have a good one.
It`s cloudy here but I`ll take the -4°C over -17°C any day, a bit of slush here too. I`m looking forward to 0°C Monday.
Back at you Grant, have a good one.

Got the shoes on the heat vent along with a doubled pair of gloves drying out, time for a pair of ham sandwiches and coffee break and then its time to do some more setting up in the shop. Will take the load off the truck tomorrow and then go fetch my 79 cab and the shelf its sitting on, the planking should come in handy.

Good evening men.
A bit early but Happy Remembrance Day tomorrow.
Our high today was only 8C brrrr
This might sound stupid Morris, but I have never seen a pig in real life.
In books and on TV yes.
But not an actual pig out walking around.
