  • I bought this forgotten 1967 Ford F250 on a farm hours north of where I live. The truck was last plated 24 years ago. I attempt to revive the old truck, and drive it off the property! Plenty of ups and downs with this project! Overall, the trucks in pretty decent shape considering it was left for dead. Think it will start and I'll make it off the property under it's own power? Watch and FIND OUT!

      Yep, that was precious. My father and I had those kind of memories together as well, but mostly either together under the hood in the garage, or under the hood on the side of the road, or under the hood in some parking lot. Yep, it was a '71 Fiat Special 124 sedan, and yep, not much more needs to said other than it definitely was a "Fix It Again Tony" Special 😂. Great times for sure! If I only could relive the early to mid 70's again...(sigh).

    I'm a 65 year old grandpa and some of the best memories of my life were laying on the cold garage floor with my dad getting some kind of piece of junk running. I still remember being about Bradley's age and smashing Dad's thumb with a hammer while "helping" him reline brakes on an old Renault Dauphine. He maintained his cool and said, "Let's finish the job." You're making memories with your son that will last him a lifetime.

      A Ford in a F.O.R.D (Field Of Rusty Dreams) Not sure if I can do Friday, Friday is usually wobbly pop day. A guy probably shouldn't operate a confuser while he's under the alfluence of incohol . I got myself half hammered once watched a a video a while ago, some guy ran his battery down trying to start a Mitts-a-bushy rice burner. I tried giving him a boost over the inter webs and fried my wife's confuser, figured I must have hooked the cables up backwards, it only smoked for an hour.
      Be careful in that tall grass, there could be some of them Danger Noodles hiding there. I found myself in a similar situation not long ago, I saw one in the grass got the ax and chopped it up in 20 pieces, looks like I finally found the garden hose I lost last year
      Oh well, what do you do.
      Looks like Saturday is not a good day for me either, promised the wife I'd shave her back...What are you doing on Sunday?

Hold it steady God**mnit!" and then it slips from my grasp and the wise words "Get the F**K out of here" spill from his mouth. He's 75 now. Guess who's not there for him......

      They were amazing motors. I wish Ford and Chevy could reproduce today their half ton trucks from this period exactly as they were back then. They would sell millions of them. The Government would not allow that, though. The Government needs to let Americans just do American things.

      They were good engines. I had a Ford with a fuel-injected inline-six and despite the miles, ran like a champ. Due to the low HP and heavy weight of the vehicle and the automatic transmission, I typically either had the pedal planted to the floor or totally off the pedal. I regret getting rid of that van. I got rid of it due to troublesome electrical issues. It had a short somewhere I couldn't find it. I finally said screw it and sold it.

My mom used it as her back up daily. We would put an air mattress in the back and take it to the drive in movies. I loved it. Unfortunately they didnt really care for it and got rid of it right about when i started driving. I was sad to see it go. Id kill to get one like it some day just for nostalgia.
