She is still reliable, even though she\u2019s now been \u201cgussied-up\u201d and ready to be taken to the dance. I have done my best to wash out the cow shit, tobacco, and sweat. She was treated to the refresh because she was worth it! Thanks!\r\n@Kromis, Thank you!\r\n @johnbennett103, Thank you!\r\n@Binford ? Ummm\u2026 ?\r\n@Geoffrey Isabelle, Thank you! I will clean up the engine when I get back to Santa Fe, but you will always have the pics of where she \u201csweats!\u201d\r\n@sjdennis, very cool, and greed!\r\n@Brewster, I\u2019m on it!\r\n@DaddyJBull, they are coming!\r\n@scotty g, thank you!\r\n @johnbennett103, Thanks again!\r\n@FinSport ?\r\n@RWD-FTW She is true \u201cGrabber Blue,\u201d the pics in the park seem dark, please look at the one pic that is in the sun.\r\n@Lavaman, Very cool! No, she was photographed in Woodley Park in LA. \r\n@Steve S, the seat cover is knitted vinyl, or something of the sort, not sure if it\u2019s \u201coriginal\u201d or not. Yes, the tailgate is a repro. I spent many a mile in the back of our truck on the bed built in under the camper shell, definitely different times!\r\n@toad93924, she has a \u201cgranny\u201d first gear.\r\n@boxdin, will do!\r\n@DENWERKS, she has NEVER had her engine compartment cleaned, my me or a previous owner, to the best of my knowledge, but I am going to do it! Yes, there was metal work in the wheel well arches and a couple of other places. I will take/post more photos!\r\n@mountainrev, I will pull the air-cleaner when I get home and post a pic, so people can identify the carb. But she does sound good and runs strong. Underbody shots on their way tomorrow.\r\n@DavetheHeathen, the engine really needs nothing, but that sounds awesome! And Vintage Air sells a comprehensive kit for this truck! She is absolutely a daily driver. Great \u201chandle\u201d by the way!\r\n@mike rockwell, yup, she has a \u201cstump-puller\u201d first gear! And she has NEVER had an under-hood bath, which she does deserve!\r\n@Chebby \u2026 Chebby, Chebby, Chubby\u2026 I\u2019m sure you would be \u201cshowered in gold\u201d in certain parts of Russia for your sense of humor! ;-)\r\n@J.P.Dashpot, you, sir, nailed it! Exactly!\r\n@Elvisinmypants, they are truly bulletproof! Great \u201chandle\u201d too!\r\n@Thaxted2bat, we do have great finds here!\r\nWell again, by tomorrow afternoon I will be submitting all photos requested.

She still rides smooth, but she could use them.\r\nHer exhaust sounds fine, but when I took the pictures, as you can see, she is due for a new exhaust.\r\nShe does have a 2 Barrel carburetor. She has PLENTY of power as she is, and gets very acceptable mileage on the highway, which is also due to the tall narrower tires, which give her great gearing... But hey, a 4 Barrel would make her a BEAST!\r\nAs you can see in the interior pics, the plastic chrome on the knobs for the lights and wiper/washer are flaking off a little. They are readily available, if you care.\r\nI tried to give a close-up of the new seat material. It is VERY nice and VERY black, but it looks a little gray in the pics, due to the lighting.\r\nThe stereo is a \"Boss.\" I just liked the name, it sounded very Ford, and it does have \"bluetooth,\" and \"audio in,\" as well as the standard AM/FM and CD player, so you can sync your phone.\r\nI forgot to mention the all-new dome light and chrome surround, also pictured.\r\nI would probably also get the aluminum wheel well trim arches, just to finish her off. They are available, I just forgot to order them.\r\nAs far as my \"detailing\" skills go, I cleaned up the motor the best I could, but as you can see, I have no future as a detailer.\r\nAs you can see in the earlier pics, she is \"sweating\" everywhere, but not really leaking anywhere.\r\nShe is what she is.
