Christina looks young enough to be Vince's mother instead of his grandmother. He seems like a really fine young lad.

As for Vince, he's a quick learner and will be a great gearhead for the future. As for Christina, she has genetics from another planet.. A compliment, of course.

[@robertpohl-mi1ke]

I love that you're showing the kid how to drive and what motor vehicles are all about. In 1996, I did the same with my daughters. I bought my 1st daughter an ugly, 19884 Chevy Citation, 4-door sedan as her 1st car. The starter had a problem, from time to time, so I showed her how to jump it with a screwdriver, with the ignition switch on. A long story, cut short: When one of her girlfriends' cars wouldn't start, they all called on Sarah to work her magic! I am lucky to have her here today

[@TheIronDuke502]

Hello Richard,Cristina & Vince. I am always immediately interested whenever you have the Ford trucks with the 300 Inline 6 engines and especially a truck that is about the same year as my 1985 Ford truck that I have. The brake master cylinder always leaked brake fluid somewhere but nowhere that was very obvious. My clutch master cylinder was a bit problematic until I was able to replace the rubber gasket under the top. Vince is a very good helper and I am always proud to see a younger person take such interest in working on different stuff because the younger generation are indeed the future. Paul Miller Ford is pretty much the largest Ford dealership in the Lexington KY area as well as them operating their auto body repair shops in different towns surrounding Lexington. Those carburetors can be real head scratchers when they decide to act up. The ground cable on your truck may have a great deal of corrosion within the copper.,Unfortunately those Ford ground cables for the 6 cylinder Ford trucks are pretty long and branch off as I recall - if you look at the diagrams from the different parts places. I was rather amused by the comments made by Pat & Frankie’s discussion on PowerNation regarding the 300 Ford engines being up and running even after a nuclear detonation. It’s a proven fact that during the “Cash For Clunkers”program a few years ago that the Ford 300 engines would not die like all of the other engines did. I’m looking forward to seeing more videos of your Ford truck.

I remember the first time i drove was an agricultural combine. 😅 Then I learned on my brother's Camaro, then on my mom's 1984 S10 Blazer. It was fun. I really hope Vince enjoyed his first drive and it looks like he really did!! 😊 Awesome!! This Bullnose Ford is really cool! I've always liked those body styles. The back plate and battery cable was probably because it had a tailgate lift, AKA Tommy Lift, on the back. You could either find another one or put an original tailgate back on it if you decide to keep it. Thanks for sharing, Richard and Christina!! You guys are awesome!! 😊

It’s lockout tag for locking out the system while some company worked on some machinery! They used them in plants and refineries! It keeps someone from turning breakers on or switch boards on while people are working on them! Safety called “ lock out/ tag out” !

Reminds me of how the Georgia flood of 1994 turned our car into a submarine. It needed transmission work and the upholstery needed work. I don't know if it was a total or partial submersion. Not too far from the McDonald's where it lay was a parking lot that turned into a lake. Some hotrodders were playing and got their vehicle submerged with fatal results.

It’s good to see a boy working alongside a man who’s teaching him how to use tools and work with his hands and doing things outside instead of sitting behind a computer playing games in a comfortable controlled environment.

I don't think we need to convince Vince; he's already in it way over his head. next thing is maybe he'lll restore all his toy cars from being playworn. :) just as a warm-up for the real ones. aside that, some scenes I had a BeeGees song playing in my head, how did it go... "How deep is your mud?" or something. ;) too bad they never attempted to clean this truck after the flood, and just put it away. was written off already, probably, so why bother. amazing it still runs and won't fall apart, either. :)
