Taking my F1 out on an errand

[Art Newland]

Hello Ford Barn,

I haven't been around the forums for a while so thought I'd make a little video of a run into town to pick up some propane. It's now sporting early 80's wheels from a E-150 while I try to find 2 more 15x5 "innie" wheels so I can use the stock hubcaps. Lately I've been working on getting the stock gauges operational, with all the discussions about fuel gauges I'll document what I did. As engine, clutch, and brakes all wear in, it just gets better and better. I recently pulled the speedo, cleaned and lubed and it's working good although reads 5 MPH slow. I attribute that to the '57 9 inch rearend with 3.70 gears.
