Hi All!

Post by dftuttle »

Picked up a "69 F250 LB yesterday that is best discribed as a "Rescue". Think dog pound. Well, actually Craigslist. Originally a 360, it now sports a mid '70's 300" six & 2 on the tree. It gets stuck in 1st, so use 2nd & 3rd!
Getting this thing the 75 miles home was like an episode of RoadKill. No brakes to speak of, a non existent coupler on the steering box, a very dried up filler neck hose (does anybody smell gas?) & the sort of usable shifter. 60 on the freeway was an Adventure.
All in all, not to bad for $1000 bucks.
Oh yeah, the good stuff. Brand new front disc brakes (just need bled), decent tires & not too much cancer.
I haven't laughed like this in years! :lol:
If common sense was really common, wouldn't everybody be using it?
