Run to town
I have been putting quite a few miles on in the last 2 months. Almost 1,000 miles this year. Ran to the scrap yard with a load of aluminum siding today. Picked up 22 railroad ties last weekend. Gotta love a truck that was made for work. Still can't quite get all of the arch out of the springs

Re: Run to town
rollingsculpture, I cannot take much of the credit for the restoration. My father did almost all of the work in the 70's/80's. I got her out of the barn last year before he died, and cleaned her up for him. I have now come down with the virus that most of us on here have-AA fever. So much to do, and never enough time or cash to finish-always seems like a work in progress.
On a side note, switched the rear and trans oil from 680W to Royal purple 85-140. Quieted it down quite a lot, and made moving her around the yard yesterday morning much nicer. Also, seems like it is not as much work to hold 40 mph with the RP in it.

Re: Run to town
That royal purple is synthetic , right? So did you have any leaks ? And can put that in the transmission as well? I was thinking about red line synthetic . BTW very nice looking AA . I love these old Fords.

Re: Run to town
I put it in the trans and rear. Have no leaks on the truck, other than the persistant rear main leak that I have to investigate this winter.
