Wallywall's 1965 Ford F100

Worked a little on taking apart the front end on Sat and Sun. Today I decided on a 351W for the power plant. Gonna work on it some more this weekend.

Got the Truck Home

Drove to Harrisburg on the 7th, loaded it up and hauled it back down. He (named after Col. Mustard from the Clue game by the misses) is sitting in the driveway begging for a back scratch. It was a struggle through the hills with the Sierra. The engine had no problem but the trans cooler was crap and let it overheat a couple times. Then the old dry-rotted tires lost air which led to astop to readjust all four chains which only deflated the tires more. Today I picked up four used Michelin LTX M/S tires (235-75R15) and had them mounted on the wheels ($100 for the old tires off, new tires on and new valve stems plus disposal of the old tires). Now all four wheels look the same and the tires are staying inflated. The neighbor even came over and vacuumed out the cab while I was fiddling with the tires. Next I have to get the title.
