Grampy's truck looks pretty nice, and it should be running pretty good too!
Keep up the maintenance and repairs, and it will do well by you. "Ford Tough".

Good evening Wesley,

What a beautiful looking truck you've got! How recent is the photo you've posted?

I noticed that you mentioned preferring all downhill routes for driving your truck; why's that?

Thanks for the excellent story Wesley,
Robroy

Thanks for the welcome's and hello's! The truck has resided in Lenoir City, TN since June 30, 1968. Here are some exterior and engine shots.
















I replaced the valve cover gasket and fixed the leak last weekend. I need to clean the oil off now!


Engine tag from factory.

Whereabouts in east Tennessee?
That is one sweet looking truck.

The truck is in Loudon County. Hopefully I'll have it over here in Clarksville in the next week or two!

Hey Robroy, the picture in my first post was about 1 year old and the pictures on page two are from this weekend. As far as the downhill part I was going to let it coast and save on some gas money!
