Flatheads Forever!!

Before there was a homesteader.

Long before there was a urban homesteader.

Right about the same time there was a long haired kid hiding out in the woods and fields with a gun or fish pole.

There was a kid hanging out in garages messing with all things with engines. At one point there was a Ford pickup truck that was 25 tears older than me. A truck powered by the most magic of engines.

I just found this video and it took me back in time. Kinda makes me think a 34-39 Ford pickup would fit in my life again

Gotta love those old engines. Fix anything with a pocketknife, screwdriver, and a 9/16 - 1/2" combo wrench (true, kept a 68 impala running for 8 years with just those...)Most these days wouldn`t know how to set dwell or file a set of points..
