I bought my old truck one year ago Tuesday on the Nov 1st, 2021.
Here's some updates on the progress.
This was the old and tired junk yard 390 that came from a 1966
Mercury Monterey. It was very very tired.
And here's the 410 that came from a 1966 Mercury Marauder and
was rebuilt 50 years ago and never started until I dropped into my
truck and fired it up for its first time.
I woke up to some fresh snow this morning so I decided to go for a little drive.
This canyon is just across the road from me.
This is where I turned around. Having to get out of the truck to
clear the snow off the hood and windshield every time I hit these
low hanging limbs was getting old.
Its nice to see these pizza cutter traction tires living up to their name.
It was just a short drive but fun.
The truck needs 4 more major upgrades;
1. AC
2. A nice sound system.
3. Rear Detroit Locker
4. Front Detroit Locker.
Intermittent wipers are the next small upgrade.

After my short ride I headed into town to pick up a few items.
This was just after leaving my place on the old highway before
I-70 came thru.
It never will be a show truck, just a work and play truck.
