+2 for Charlie… he did mine.

Thanks, you are very kind. Don’t have my ‘51 F1 here in MN this year so won’t have any lift need until it arrives (maybe next summer). I did pick up a 1992 F1 though (in great condition) to drive and tinker with this year and it’s high enough (and I’m still limber enough) to crawl under it.

Glad to hear you finished that lift project Denny! Oh, by the way, can I use it? :)

Congratulations on quitting drinking last May... for many it's impossible without divine intervention... and He is faithful to always be there for you... blessings to you and your wife. May she get stronger every day and may you stay strong every day.

Recently sent my 94 to Charlie. So glad I did!

You don't say what you have but the book for my '51 8BA says the gap should be .025 -.028. However, I use NGK's B6L's.

Sweet! Thanks for taking us along. I enjoyed the ride and your truck sounds nice. I make similar trips in my '51 F1 but I will often stop for a coffee. :) Life is good.

Here in NorCal my Jan/Feb arrived quite awhile ago. Never did get Nov/Dec.

The “electric flathead” was a humorous tongue-in-cheek comment intended to address the inevitable demise of the internal combustion engine in cars. You’re probably right about gas, but lets compare notes in 25 - 30 years. 😊

I believe there are a few younger car enthusiasts with a desire to carry on some traditions and styles - but each generation tends to walk in their own shoes - so loss is inevitable. And, I doubt my old Ford will have easy access to gasoline in 25-30 years. Time to start designing the electric...
