Ok it's not a truck but it is a Ford, well a Mercury, very similar to my Falcon. You gotta love this old lady, she drives to her 70th hi school reunion.....

That is pretty great; I think that video is a few years old; I hope that she's still driving her till her 100th birthday (safely; as she said lol)

Excellent video
I love the fact that she bought stuff with life time warranty on it and she has now had 11 free batteries , one smart lady for sure.
Also funny was the 6000 mile service was like $13 and she says you can't even buy a gasket for that now LOL.

That's great, Frank! Thanks for sharing. Is that a 289 in there? Wouldn't the valves be pounding the seats on those old heads without the leaded gas?

You'd think she had at least a valve job , seals for sure?
I liked the lube diagram, great idea as most of the guys at a quick lube have never seen king pins!
Fiesty ol gal for sure, keeps a revolver in the car!
