That sounds like a brag ..it's only a silly Ford after all

Only the GM diffs saved it from the scrap heap

More of a stir than a brag

Caught one fish at least

Problem solved now.
Brought home 2 Ford Blitz trucks yesterday from a farm about an hour away.
So now I have 2 gearboxes to play with as well as another flathead V8. I now also have an overflow tank too.
The more complete truck had both windows fitted in their frames before we left the farm. By the time we got to my place one had slipped out and dropped onto the tray of the tilt truck. Amazingly it didn't break!

Plushy, thank you for your offer but now I will not need to grab a gearbox off you.

Here's some pics of the pick up. Both were canadian built trucks. To fit them both on the truck one was chopped in half. The chassis was rusted anyway and after unsuccessfully trying to snap it in half by using the tractors FEL to bend it, the angle grinder was brought out. Job done.

The third one will be retrieved at a later date. It still has the V8 and gearbox fitted and features 20in rims on a SWB.
