Any stories regarding this project?

This truck was purchased new in Saskatoon at Merlin Ford by a couple who used it for hauling their camper.

It has never been driven in the winter.

The next owner bought the truck in original condition and built the drive-train up to race at the local drag strip. I saw this truck at the strip and at car shows and fell in love with it.

I thought that I would love to own this truck. In June of 2009 I saw it was up for sale, so I went and bought it.
