Fall day drive in Colorado

[gearhead1952]

Took my 52 pickup for a drive around the neighborhood. Take a ride with me. Put it in full screen mode and you will feel like you are sitting in the truck. Music was not added it is coming from the radio in the truck.

Just as you pulled into your driveway at the end I noticed you used a gear which I didn't see you use the rest of the drive.
It's a four speed? Is first so short it's not worth using?

Thanks for the ride. The ESSO station I worked at in the early 60's had a 51 or 52 F-1 that I loved to drive. Bob

Gearhead,
What a great idea! Thanks for a ride in a vintage Ford with that unique flathead sound. Beautiful country!

It is the light duty 3 spd. Only 2nd and 3rd are synchro'd so you gotta be fully stopped for 1st. So I used 2nd since I was rolling. I put a 9 inch with a 3.50 gear in it. I wish I had more gears.

Lol. My F1 actually gets better gas mileage than my daily Ranger.

Got any pics of the pickup? I had a quick look and could see the panels, but no pickup. I like to know what I've been riding in!

I enjoyed that. 12 years didn't do a lot for the rattles and squeeks. It sounds very similar to mine. What are you running for an exhaust system?

Rattle is mostly from the Magic Air heater I haven't put the fresh air tube back on to tie it into the cowl. I built dual exhaust using repro parts. The mufflers are from dennis carpenter but are really just straight through resonators. I bought two sets of right side exhaust pipes then cut and welded one set to make the left side a mirror copy of the right. Just the stock exhaust manifolds.
