    People that make comments like "You're going to snap off your oil pump drive shaft", have never dealt with cold climates before. You're right too about highboys getting respect; I was looking into buying one and the prices are off the charts.

    Love that old green girl. Show her some love and fix that front end please. Our family owned a 1972 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT 2 wd with the 360 V-8. Sold it in the 90’s truck had original under 60k miles on it. It was a beast but a very light truck.

    Outstanding! Living in a tropical country it's not easy all the hardship that -55F entails. Had a glimpse of the Alaskan way of life back in 1998, when I travelled by most main state highways and flew to Barrow as well. My favourite US state by far. But it was spring time by then... Nothing compared to deep winter. Keep up the awsome work of preserving old iron. Am into old iron myself, mostly a Ford and IH fellow. 👍💪😎

Too old and I don't like the snow that's why I live in Arizona I hope you had a great Christmas and a great happy New Years even though it's late and that but have a good one I enjoy your your show

    BYA, Shows what 50 degrees will do for ya! On your 55 below cold start you couldn't even let out the clutch in neutral! Now you've got wheel spin! Even though my house is at 6,000' we don't get as much snow as you have right now. Even if we added up about 50 winters of snowfall in central New Mexico I think you'd still have at least a foot more. Great Video! I was gonna say cool video but that's too obvious!

    My ole 71 f250 wouldn’t start easy at all if it was under 30°F. I was shown to use PB Blaster. Quick snort of that and Half choke, Itll fire up. Man I put that ole furd throufh a lot. Went to MOM’s mud bog in mesick Michigan. Ran it up against modifieds that were running fkin 1200-1500-2000 Horsepower & Nitrous. Like wtf 😳… but believe it or not she came in 5th place outta 150-180+ trucks in rough N tough truck comp. 360 went. Uncle ended up having tons of ole furds and we transplanted a 390 in it. Did few truck / tractor pulls. Stock 390 and running gear, did 116’-21klb’s 😅…
