A water pump, fuel pump and a can of paint is all it needs. No leaks in 34 years.

Beautiful scenery outside your shop, 53Mercury

 

Hey Rooster, how the heck did you get MartyB to actually work on that truck? Pictures of him doing body work! He never helps his buddies up here. He only TELLS us how to do stuff. Share the secret.
