Crankin' up the old 1982 Ford Courier - Part 1

Joe-Joe helps me crank up the courier. I remember when this truck was brand new.. It wasn't that long ago I depended on it as daily transportation, then the clutch went out. It has had a rough life on the farm over the years, but I still think enough of it to crank it up ever so often and make sure it still runs.

@mrbobtyler I'm familiar with those, they seem to be more common. Timing chain instead of a belt like mine, right? I helped a friend rebuild his back in high school. Good times.

Cool video*lol* I just bought a 1979 Ford Courier with 50K original miles . Kind of sad to see yours all rusted out. For the Ford haters, Couriers actualy were made in japan by Mazda(Toyo Kogyo)

This Courier had a hard farm life since day one. It was bought as a cheap truck to go get seed and fertilizer chemicals for planting. Anyone that knows about fertilizers knows what it does for metal..
