The Ford Barn

Wheels of the Past · 01-30-2022, 04:27 PM

I was writer and host of the YouTube series "Wheels of the Past" before the Covid monster shut us down. I thought I would share an episode we did on the american pickup and a 46 Ford thick we brought back from the dead!!! Enjoy!!

Wheels of the Past episode 16. “ON THE ROAD AGAIN” Beginning at a Pennsylvania orchard we look at America’s favorite workhorse, the American pickup truck. Returning to Pioneer Auto in Murdo, South Dakota, we resurrect a 1946 Ford Pickup which has sat idle for over 34 years. With the assistance of RodFathers Garage in nearby Rapid City, we return the truck to road worthy condition.

That was fun. Been to Murdo several times, thats where I saw the boxes of moth balls being eaten by mice laying on the floor of many cars

Gary: I think you need to paint “EXPLOSIVES” on the back of one of your trucks, should keep other drivers from getting to close on the road.
