Wear a hazmat suit.
That dash brings back memories - I drove a leased one for a summer job in 1980. Same floor shifter too.
darn rights. unfortunately for me there isnt to many stop signs around where i live
chevron 5w40 and a wix 51515 , plus all new fluids , thermostat and belts/hoses. besides the massive amount of blow by it runs very nicely.
You need to get a big heart tattoo on your forehead to go with that lady killer rod.
makes my words even more true and appropriate
Perfect tree truck.
Your seat belt is still attached to the floor there, Nelson Rockefeller. My dodge plow truck:
actually it is attached to the carpet in the green truck, there was no structural metal left in that thing. brown ford on the other hand is pretty ok. banged up badly but not that rusty
all factory and brakes actually work. i dont trust them but they do work.
will be getting new everything master and down. along with tires and a complete tune up/oils
The Texan rancher and the Saskatchewan farmer were chatting. The Texan rancher said “ I can get in my pickup and drive across my land and at sunset I’ll still be on my own land.” The Saskatchwan farmer said “ I had me a pickup like that once”.

Not sure it matters but those were hard on timing chain and gears. It would be aggravating to get her running only to have that 351M shuck the timing set. That may have happened already if Hillbilly turned the engine backwards to “free it up”.
Watch Urban Cowboy. Bud drove a black and white one. Yeeee-Haw!
