    I lost my best friend, my dad, almost 4 years ago, i cry everyday becauae i miss him. Hugec inspiration in my military career. Daughter bf just lost his great grandmother of 103 yesterday. I comforter him holding and both crying last evening on the front of our house. After being in the USMC, I only hate one thing. Death to loved ones. Enjoy what you have!🇺🇸💯🙏🤙🏻

    You know we all need to have something in our lives to get our minds off of tragedy. This was one healthy activity and time well spent to make amends with whatever it is around us that keeps our lives afloat, and our hearts in tune. Rockin chairs were made to cradle idle minds into early graves.
    You drive that truck like my Dad used to drive his 68 F100. Had power to spare from a 375hp headed 390 with a 3 speed. Though he chose 2.76 rear gears and just poked it along in high gear until the lanes were completely clear to open her up a little. Driving like a captain and not a racer... Dad would have admired this truck...

    This is one bad 67 F100. I love the patina/clean interior from the future. I also love that he doesn't flog on it during the video and the personal touch to this video tops em all. Not all "hotrodder" are in it for the same reason. Nothing wrong with building something just for a cruiser. I've always had fast to me vehicles, but never found the need to beat them. As always, top notch production and content from the AutotopiaLA crew. Thanks team.
