Ahh the old truck road trip, recently did one of those, the top speed of 62 mph for 800 miles was interesting, must have stopped more than a dozen times for fuel, 64 F-600 with my car on the back, and to up the anty on things that could have gone wrong, one tire leaking air, alternator/volatage regulator N/G, battery going dead ( had a spare , even made a turn around in a bad neighborhood in Toledo, late at night. Must have had enought umph left to give me enough juice for lights and spark, probably breaking even on the meter. Drove 600 miles to get it, 800 back, non stop from 3:00 a.m on a thursday to 1:30 PM on friday, 36 hours worth of fun. Not long after I had it home did the voltage regulator or alternator drain the battery quickly, ran all night on the Ohio turnpike, thinking I made it on a thread, sad thing was, bought it from a dealer, paid him extra, change all fluids,make sure things were ok for the trip, had it been me, I'd have replaced the battery and electrical parts, old stuff not important to a guy who is selling late model ones I suppose. Only good thing that the old Y-block 292 ran and still runs great, burns no oil, 80 lbs oil press at start and 40 above idle when hot, starts immediately with a pump of the gas and choked. What an experience, fortunate I made it without a hitch !!! One tired dog after that one, wudd'nt right again until Sunday, and I don't think I'd do it again.

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
