Well a boy can try.

Ok so just a hour ago my dads uncle who also owns a abandoned farm with a yard just the quarter north of us. Came over for us to clean a aircleaner for his lawnmower.

Anyways thig guy still owns a decent lookin 1950 Mercury 1ton, and of course I know this truck is not yet seized.

So anyways in this meeting I started to mention about my 49 Mercury half ton which I got running, I wanted to steer the conversation so I fired up my Flathead and all that and we did get talking bout his old Mercury. Well did get m foot stuck in the door, but nothing concrete. Urgh

I imagine when he passes on it'll become someones in my family and then end up mine. But I really don't want that motor to seize....

Think one night half to open the hood with a wrench set and add some oil in the spark plugs.

This truck was used when he still farmed that was about 10 ears ago.
There is also a decent 1976 with a 390.
