easiest way to tell if truck has any V8 or L6 without getting closer than 20' away?
I need to get some cash and start trying to buy some of these "Field Trucks". I see so many Fords out in the rice fields when I'm down South on the ambulance and around here they are broke down in the hay fields. I know a guy who buys old broke down tractors from the fields. He'll spot a tractor and find the closest house or even call the police out to tell him who owns the field. Most are given to him if he offers to haul them off. He has restored allot of antique tractors and made a huge business out of it.
