Love it. A Ford engine, even better. No bellybutton 350 or LSwhatever crate. Where did you score the Bardahl decal?

Haha Thanks Mark...I agree. The Bardahl decal was an ebay find. So many of these fat fender F100's were used as push vehicles at race tracks and drag strips, I wanted a decal that kinda brought that thought to mind.

Weren't those phone company trucks an ugly Green color?
I've got some old slides of my Dad's PG&E trucks,the oldest a '53.
He used to get a new Ford truck every three years.
