My step brother showed up with his ’76 Ford High Boy.

He picked it up from a shop it’s been at and is taking it home to Central Oregon.

He had them put on anew carb, electronic ignition and new exhaust.

Unfortunately the Big Cam lope is now gone. He said the previous exhaust was too loud.

I called him a pussy to his face.

It’s a beautiful truck though and it will be for sale next Spr.ing.

Better have deep pockets is all I can say.

I told him he needed to be wearing coveralls.

Make him look like a Farmer.

That’s where the truck came from originally, a Farm.

I thought this is pretty cool.

I actualy have this set up on my old 3 In 1 lathe/mill/drill machine.

Mr. M and Mr. N were extremely generous to donate a prewired and programmed little Variable Frequency Drive like that plus a good sized 220 volt motor to me a few years ago and I set up a Jack Shaft in place of the original motor to run the belt on it.

It works beautifully and I will be eternally grateful to them for it.

This set up basically does the same thing except he is using a chain drive off the motor.

It brings new life to an old machine and gives him speed and direction control. at the tip of his finger.
