Yes, it does get that cold here, not for awhile yet,,,starting in January. But, I have some other fall work to do before the snow flies. My snow plow truck is a 1990 Ford F150 4x4 that I bought new. The upper intake manifold is leaking anti-freeze and I am just putting it back together. That took a few days, the distributor was frozen solid. It took me a day to finally get it to move and pull it out. Hopefully I have the leak fixed.

Glad you got the plow truck done.

Gotta have your work horse ready to go no doubt. Hopefully all is right with the plow truck!!

All seems to working with the plow truck. The anti-freeze leak seems to be fixed.

Not much going on with the truck now. I did find another F100 from another neighbor down the road. It looks like a 1970 Ranger. The motor is pulled, but the inner fenders look in good shape. The side molding on the fenders, cab and box look in decent shape also. I have permission to pull the parts. Cannot believe there are so many bumps hiding in the bush in my area.

Looks like she’s been there a while! Good find!

The 1970 Ranger went to the 3.5” side trim that covers the entire bump. Wonder if it’s a 69?

That is a good find. It must have been sitting a while or the salt would have got it i think. Or are they just as bad sitting up there?? Gotta love more parts!!

From what I am told is was bought as a parts truck in the mid 80's. It has been sitting there since. They don't rust out as bad sitting, but still rust. The worst is the tree leaves collecting and holding water.

Yep i understand it same thing as down here the water and leaves. But the salt not spinning up in the wheel wells has to help.
