Dominick’s 1977 Ford: A 2,000-Mile Test Drive

Dominick bought a rough 1977 Ford in Washington and worked on the engine before driving it 2,000 miles to Texas. The long trip came before his larger plans for the truck.

Truck was originally from Washington, I bought it's about 2 years ago and it was in rough shape, the motor ran very rough and lots of rust, it has been a good truck recently took the longest drive it's been on, we drove it 2000 miles from Washington to Texas to test it's limits after we did some things to the motor and there is still a lot more planned for it, we are getting a new motor, a new bed, wheels and tires, new cab, suspension upgrade, all sorts of stuff.
