Our flag is getting threadbare. Getting another, so I took this one, stuck it in the back left pocket of my USA Made pickup truck and did my errands today. Pounded some various sized scraps in around it to keep it solid.

And, yes, it's a USA Made pickup truck. Not Korean engine, Japanese transmission thing.

Dave, very nice truck!

We call it "The Ugly Truckling". Had it for....I don't know without looking....35 or 36 years. Last engine (long ago) I put a Merc crank and slugs in it. Went from base 239 to 255. Blocks are the same, no markings to identify internals. Put Truck heads on (8RT) instead of Merc (8CM) so it all looks stock when you pop the bonnet.

Had a '50 convert. Owned my Mustangs for a half century. Both converts.

That's a 50 F-1, next to it is a 50 Tudor, which I have owned 50-1/2 years so far. Also Merc innards...duals (cast manifolds) and overdrive. 8-tube functional radio.

Dave,
Are these your everyday vehicles?

[ScaleCraft]

Sort of. This week it's the truck. Two weeks ago the Tudor. Other times I drive the Jag. 64 MK2, RHD, with Brit Spec 2.4L inline six. DOHC, twin Solex downdraughts.

What's fun is one is a three speed on the floor, LHD, another is three on the tree with overdrive, also LHD, then the Jag, RHD, shift with left hand on a 4-speed. Keeps your mind active, that's for sure.
