I have had a lot of flathead era ford trucks but the vast majority got here the hard way. My first flat V8 came from the island. Once the hook was set, I had haul them from the mainland. Oregon, Eastern Washington, Parker's Praire Minnesota, Montana, N Dakota etc. Here's my first, that '38 tonner before and after. Most of the blocks came all at once, but I collected plenty of them the hard way too.
