Trufe. You did an exceptional job fitting the rockers on your blue truck.
Is that the drill, grinders, and green filler you use on teefs?

:oops:

Why put that much effort into a ford, at the end of the day it's still a ford....

I truly loved that truck. It was super rusty when I got it and it was beautiful when I sold it, but it was just wasn't super practical as daily driver.

lol never had the desire for most of it

Well whether I love or hate something, I really enjoy history, and I like learning about history. History was one of my favorite classes in school.

The history between ford & dodge is neat to me, I read a book on the subject 30 years ago. Back when people still read books. Now there's a few YouTube vid's on the subject.

Pretty sure the Dudge bros forced Henry to make max profit for the shareholders. Why we now have that fiduciary responsibility bs.

Henry would of been thrown in prison with martha stewart, had he done these days what he did back then, purposely selling off / devaluing his stock, to try and cheat share holders out of money, he mainly did it to screw the dodge brothers over, but it cost him in the end.

He had a few up there, he built the town of Alberta just so he could setup a mill there.

Before 1935 there was no town of Alberta MI.

I contacted my dental insurance company and asked if they worked with your dental practice

They said they never heard of you

I am beginning to get suspicious

If it wasn't for your dental degree from Walmart I think I would have to look elsewhere for my dental care

I don't accept insurance for dental or autobody work, I'm a cash-only business. I learned from the best, Earl Scheib. "I'll paint any car or fix any cavity for just $99.95!"

We actually had an obnoxious orange Furd Courier (Mazda?) work truck and the owner took it to Earl Scheib and they wiped it down with a tack rag and shot it with the green closest to the company color

There were blobs of grease in the bed and other bits of crap and they simply sprayed over those

But it truly was $99.95

Ah, the good old days

Henry Ford also kinda had a hand in kick starting what we today know as, Milwaukee tools. In 1918 Ford had A. H. Petersen Company design him a new lighter faster drill. Previously ford had used a big heavy bulky drill from black & decker.

History channel had a show on this subject a few years ago. Rumor was black & decker started the fire that destroyed the Petersen factory, where fords new favorite drills were being made.
