    Just beautiful!

    I've always had a thing for those C model Fords (sorry -- scratch that -- Mercurys).

    Also love the vintage Wheel Horse!  My dad bought one of them after I moved away so he wouldn't have to go back to pushing a mower. If I remember correctly that's a big starter motor mounted behind the cylinder and that 45 degree housing contains a belt drive from the starter motor to the engine crankshaft. 

    Early tech at its finest!

    MAXIDYNE !

    That's beautiful -- also, love the fuel stickers 💗

    I can't even guess how many miles I've driven in that same red F model, Dayton wheels and all. I used to drive for this guy who had like 15 of those -- all alike --  but only one had a chrome grill shell -- the rest had the standard silver-painted Mack original equipment. Whoever was his favorite driver that week got to use the chrome grill shell until they ticked him off and then he'd repo it when the driver wasn't looking and give it to someone else.

    So ya never knew until you got to the yard -- maybe chrome, maybe not.

    Keep on truckin'

    Lookin' real good!

    Kinda pretty much almost not quite enough wheelbase for that fabulous Mercury sleeper tho 🤔

    But it sure would be a shame to leave the Mercury on the shelf, so how bout like three or four more feet of frame with the Mercury and the headache rack?

    Gotta love a large car 😎

    That's gonna be nice. The painted tanks will definitely be an upgrade. Engine and trans look great.

    But what kind of engine is that? Looks like it has a turbo propelled by both banks of cylinders -- is it like an 8V-92 or something?  (Duh --not the world's biggest Detroit expert)
