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...

My truck kicked my butt yesterday.
New water pump, upper and lower radiator hoses, new thermostat, heater hose, all new hose clamps and two new fan belts.
While putting the water pump on one of gaskets slipped out and I didn't notice it until it was all put back together and filled up with some fresh antifreeze.
Then I noticed a small drip. Everything had to come back off to get the gasket back in there.
Two cans of degreaser and a pressure washer and it barely put a dent in the grease. Its thick and 45 years old.
Its going to take a high pressure steam cleaner so that's not going to happen for a long time.
Just too many other things need fixing.
I hurt this morning. I'm getting too old for this kind of work.
I ordered two new belts for it and they were the wrong belts.
I had two matched sets of Motorcraft belts that I had for my '72 F-250 and to my surprise they fit this truck.
The alternator and power steering take the same belt.
I was offered $6000 for my truck yesterday.
Sorry, but its not for sale. ;)
