Someone offererd me a 1957 F-350 for free! What was I to do? Can't say no. So, I Left Visalia CA at 12:30 am yesterday morning for Las Vegas, NV to pick it up, got back home at 4:00 pm after driving 750 miles almost non-stop. The old bastard has been sitting in storage for 5-6 years, who knows how many in a field before that. Today in 3 and a half hours I got this POS running and driving after sitting all those years. The truck that is, not me. What fun old Ford trucks can be.  
New push truck for the Uni? Who knows? Might put a flatbed on it and make some sort of rolling patio for hangin' at Elmo, I don't know, it was free. Ha Ha!   bla bla bla

Great score, Tim. Been looking for something like that for a shop delivery flat bed. Had a shot at a 56 f500, but deal fell thru.

Awesome! Gotta love a freebie! Especially one that's running(after some much needed tuning/love of course!)

Methinks you are a very lucky man to have all those toys and a woman that lets you keep them, let alone jumping in the truck and going for a drive.
Great score by the way.

Very cool aquisition Tim. I agree old Ford trucks are just lots of fun to play with. What did you pull the aluminum radiator out of? And kudos to Kathy for hopping in a dirty old truck for a ride up and down the street. Good to see your still living the dream!

Thanks for the comments guys! I know I am very blessed to have Kathy Not so sure about all the trucks I keep finding, that can turn into a mill stone real quick.  But I'm having a good time now.  The radiator was one I had bought for "Jake" but was too tall, works in this truck just fine.
