I bought my first Ford pickup in Alaska in early 1975, a 1973 F-100 with the even smaller 240 cubic inch six, three in the tree with dog dish hubcaps. Over the next ten years it saw about forty of the fifty states. Always thought I'd up engine it but by the time that little six was getting tired in 1986 the body was so rusted out I bought a new Ford E-150 van with the 5 litre V-8.
