56 Ford COE,
Fwiw, I truly LIKE your snub-nose. - Btw, I have a friend, who cuts pulpwood for a living up in NE Texas, who has driven many, many, trouble-free miles with an 8.2 in his log-truck.
(Evidently, you get a GOOD one or a BAD one.)
Vernon is pleased with its cost of operation, too.
Hoping to see the finished restoration, soon.
yours, satx
