Makes you want to have a time machine and go back there. The pic demonstrates how quickly we forget just exactly how common engine swaps were back in the day....

 

Agree with Doc, engine swaps were very common. I am surprised we don't run into more rebuilt engine tags, both Ford and independent rebuilders.

 

And the prices weren't all that bad either.... note the price includes installation!

 

Maybe it's time to go buy a Coyote engine...lol

 

Today you're lucky if they'll change the oil for $56.

 

Here is a link to a work 1956 tow truck, posted earlier on the 57-60 forum!

First dump run.

 

And what dealers call "shop rate" just blows me away.

 

Dropping some unneeded wood off at the city yard.

 

Went down to the local sawmill today with the COE and trailer to pick up some slab wood.....

 

That is very cool. I bet you were the talk of the mill workers!

 

Very nice Tinman. Like seeing them used

 

This is a great picture. Nice art work on the cut tree also.

 

Thats a nice stock looking working truck. Keep it up!

I like the two tone.

 

Today I cut down a dead evergreen bush/tree at on of my clients house. It had died a couple of years ago. It looked bad and got in my way when I mowed. It came down pretty easy. I didn't even have to cut the base and leave a stump as I noticed the tree seemed loose. I was able to pull it out of the ground since the roots had rotted. It was a big load on my 55 F-350.
