If you rebuild carbs or starters don’t use NOS parts as they probably are not alcohol resistant.

Took Patty Bell out after work. This is only the third time I’ve had her on the road. It’s about a 20 mile round trip to the feed store. 1400# of feed, no problems at all. Handled the load at 55mph just fine. Actually, it made for a smoother ride home. Lol



Old Ford doin what old Fords were built to do!!

That's great to see these trucks working. What did the workers at the store say?

The young kid was clueless. All the older gentleman that loaded me said was “ya don’t see that everyday”

But than I had to pull up front by their sign after being loaded for a photo op.

Gwen bought some wicker furniture at an auction last week. Of course it was very hot out. I hadn't taken my truck out since my electrical issues.
I think the new ignition switch as taken care of that problem. The furniture was only about 6-7 miles away, but there was a small section with construction and no shoulder. That had me worried if I broke down right at that spot.
Fortunately my truck ran smoothly and it wasn't too hot while I was moving.

Although I don't consider my truck a "working truck" or a "show qween", I would not have a problem throwing a round bail of hay in it or a load of firewood. It's gone through some changes from when I bought it back in 1983 when it wa


s all original.
