Coming Inline article

I was at the bookstore today and picked up a magazine named True Blue Trucks. I noticed that they are planning an article titled: The Mighty Six.

I might make an interesting read.

I saw that also, I hope that mag doesn't go under before it even gets off the ground. The issue I saw a couple months ago was number 1.

You had to bring up my $1400 oil gauge, huh?

The expensive one in the cab shows 10 psi, while the one on the engine shows 17 psi. Guess which one I believe? I don't even worry any more.

Dang 250, that's freakin' awesome! I think you'd be a good candidate for a great read. Your build is custom (and not just aftermarket bolt-on custom either), there's a interesting story behind your build (the oil issues, the 300/FE swap, the different carburetors, etc), you learned a bunch while doing it. Plus your blue and chrome engine and your blue and white dentside are both pretty to look at it. I'm kind of excited and I'm not even you. LOL

i know one thing,

and 1 or 4 other things. i personally am proud of you. i hope you go for it. if so, i for one will read it carefully and with great interest. and last but not least, i gotta stretch the truth about as far as can be done, but it goes like this, i AM not personal buddys with the man. actually never met him face to face, BUT, i pays attentions to his thoughts iei do not actually know him but i respect him for sure,.OKAY OKAY sincerely, paul md a nobody who just loves this stuff. ps yes i did take my meds this am. this post speaks MY real thoughts. hey long standing fte vet writes a serious kick ----- piece on our mighty 300 6. dont get much better than boss. later p md... DO it why not, everybody knows you most likely will be taken to task on this point or that but so what, it takes big ones to put your style in print and most critics will not even sign there real name. shine em on. you got more friends than i believe you might know.

Hopefully it will be in either the next, or the issue after that.

Friends don't let friends (or anybody else for that matter) scrap old Fords.

Remember, they will never make these again. <!-- / sig --> "

I was at the boneyard yesterday looking for parts, and was surprised that in two yards I only found two of the 73--78 model. I've never seen so few.
