The engine is not only your classic Ford's powerplant, it's usually the make or break point of your restoration. It's very common to see a car that looks great on the outside, but lagging behind under the hood. A lackluster engine is one thing on a cruise night driver, but if you're entering shows, the level of engine compartment detailing is often the margin of difference between the class winners and the guys who go home empty handed.
Back in 1960, a car was a car and a truck was a truck. In 1960 people bought cars to transport their families, and when work needed to be done, a truck was in order. Pickup trucks back in 1960 were built to work. Built to serve farmers, businesses, and independent workers as inexpensively as possible while still getting the job done. They were built tough, solid and functional.
