51-2 truck? ford or mercury?

'51 F1, it's actually my bodymans truck, doing a bunch of mechanical stuff on it for him.

Cool project! I always wanted to convert my Imperial to a 4-speed manual but parts availability (and prices) have put me off.

Do you still have your 4-speed stuff?

I kept some of it, but let a lot of it go.

Mighty fine, Nick. Looking forward to following your progress.

Progress will be slow, but that's life.

That's my boy talkin there.

I found a pint of Hemi Orange buried in my paint cabinet that a friend had mixed back in 87 for his Superbird's U code, I checked it and it'll be perfect for this.

A friend @Mike66Chryslers sent me some pictures he took of my car when it still lived with Dave Wheeler's GT's, and a picture of the only time it saw the light of day in 2022.

How do you like that ring compressor? I bought one of those in a kit and have yet to use it

It takes some getting used too and selecting the right size ring is a pain.

After you get it, it works well, it's nice that it's locking, this is a Matco set, but they don't make their own tools anyway.
