Bought a second truck.
Last week I bought this 1976 Ford F-250 4-wd, gratefully it isn't a highboy. I really think I stole it after searching for another truck. Body and paint a bit rough but very little to almost...

Cool that you bought a new truck!
Thank you. Its been a lot of fun.
Went to run an errand the other day and it wouldn't start.
It acted like the engine was seized.
I couldn't budge it with a braker bar so I figured it must be the starter motor.
Sure enough, the starter drive busted.
I bought it back in June from a small independent rebuilder.
I refuse to buy alternators and starters from the local parts store.
He took it in the back room and rebuilt it again for me. It sounds
great and spins the engine better than it did before.
So while I was there I bought a re-man alternator too.
The one on the truck is a rebuilt Westling and they are junk too so
its getting replaced too.
150 mile round trip. Well worth the drive.
