Awesome video documentary about your truck, Denny. I thought I knew a lot about First Ride but I learned more from watching this.

Denny, that guy put some pressure on you asking for a start! Glad you didn’t flood it, nice job! Enjoyed the video.

watched your video and beautiful truck. I’m restoring a 52 F1 that belonged to my wife’s grandfather. About a year into.

curious about your air cleaner element. Does that fit into oil bath body? Do you have a number for it?

My last name is Gage and my grandson first name is Gage since we had 2 daughters.
