"Truly a tough Ford"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

This truck was a cement contractors truck. The bed was rusted away by the time I got it.

Bed was replaced with a home made flat bed made of angle iron and sheet metal.

The 400 V8 was starting to use a little oil, so I had the engine rebuilt and hopped up.

The cab and doors haven't aged well... a lot of surface rust, but with less than 1k on the rebuild, it's hard to beat.

General comments?

Fast stock, and faster now.

I once lit the rear tires up for a full block in Chicago, before the engine was hopped up, and it was still spinning when I let up.

But I don't think I ever got better than 9 mpg with the thing.

You spun the tires on a pickup with no bed on it?

Wow, that's impressive alright.
