I just put my old 68 ford truck back on the road. after new kingpins, radius arm and pivot bushings and freeing up all 4 wheel cylinders it seems to be a good truck for work on the farm. it's ugly, but with a 390 and 2 cherry bombs it sounds good and has plenty of power. 9/26/2007 9:11:18 PM |

it's a bigtime pos without a doubt, but I drove it across a bunch of corn rows today while putting up fencing for my cows and didn't worry about letting the boy that works for me drive it once I explained how to change the gears with a column shifter. it's nice to have something you don't have to worry about scratching up or wearing out. it's decent enough to drive to town for supplies or something though. 9/26/2007 9:27:54 PM |

to answer the question above, mine is 2wd with a 390 and a 3 spd. right now i'm running a holley 600 on a 2bbl intake, but I've got a couple of 4bbl intakes around here I might put on it later. it's not worth going to a lot of trouble over. i do think I might let my students paint it the FFA colors for a class project though. I let them repaint the camo rambler and it worked pretty good. 9/28/2007 4:32:18 PM |
