Ol Blue lost the transmission this afternoon. Overdrive gear went out. Managed to crawl it home in 2nd gear. But when we checked it earlier found metal shavings in the fluid so that’s not good

I’m blown away at how amazing my truck cleaned up for the show yesterday. Instead of polish I used the show car glaze and carnauba wax. It’s a night and day difference in the shine. People at the show yesterday thought I had put clear coat over the paint!

Time to begin cleaning my truck for the show this weekend. It’s a car show, tractor show, and swap meet all in one. I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday 8am-4pm

So I bought another flatbed. 1990 Ford F-600. Has the 370-2v gas engine, 5 speed with 2 speed rear. Can’t wait to get it running again and make it my work truck

Would love to have the new Polaris Razor from Diesel Brothers _ . I’d take that thing trail riding everywhere! #Sweepstakes #MonsterJumpLIVEsweepstakes

Ol Blue is finally back from the transmission shop. Got a full rebuild along with new heavy duty billet converter and stage one clutches. Drives and shifts much better now

Gotta love the rumble of an old 7.3 idi. You can even hear the banks turbo spool up. And if you look close you can see it roll a little coal 😎

Funny how fast Alabama weather changes. One minute I’m working on the farm and enjoying the nice evening then suddenly hear rumbles of thunder and see a wall of rain headed straight for me. Did allow for some cool pictures yesterday James Spann

Spent a late night working on my f-600 last night. I think it’s time to see if it’ll fire off now. Hasn’t ran in 12 years but it’s already showing signs of life

After 40 years my 79 has rolled 100k original miles. I must mention that the engine and transmission/drivetrain is still original. How’s that for built Ford tough?

Little late to share on here but my f-600 is finally running after 12 years of sitting. Runs and drives great, engine work is done so now it’s time to tackle the brakes 😅 it’s got the Lucas girling system if anyone knows what I mean on that 💰💰

Got some big things planned for Ol Blue now. Should be getting a few cosmetic changes soon. I can’t wait to see it all happen!

Had a couple setbacks but Ol Blue is finally in body shop getting ready for the repaint. I’m so excited for this to finally be happening and can’t wait to see the final product
