Had a couple setbacks but Ol Blue is finally in body shop getting ready for the repaint. I’m so excited for this to finally be happening and can’t wait to see the final product

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

Pulled the bed off Ol Blue yesterday. Going to the paint shop this week for a new shade of blue

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

@GBAMike I’ve had several people say I should do that. As awesome as it sounds it’s kinda tempting

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

Got some big things planned for Ol Blue now. Should be getting a few cosmetic changes soon. I can’t wait to see it all happen!

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

@CastleberGrace Lol thank you

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

Little late to share on here but my f-600 is finally running after 12 years of sitting. Runs and drives great, engine work is done so now it’s time to tackle the brakes 😅 it’s got the Lucas girling system if anyone knows what I mean on that 💰💰

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

After 40 years my 79 has rolled 100k original miles. I must mention that the engine and transmission/drivetrain is still original. How’s that for built Ford tough?

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

@Torq_OffRoad @rollincoalclub @GMCcanada Yeah I highly doubt that many tailgates was 30k lbs. sounds and looks more like false advertising. My 79 F150 has pulled a bigger gooseneck and much heavier load than that and it handled that load like a champ. 40 years old and it’s still running strong. Let’s see gmc do that...

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

Spent a late night working on my f-600 last night. I think it’s time to see if it’ll fire off now. Hasn’t ran in 12 years but it’s already showing signs of life

@GracieBrush I own 2 flatbeds

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

Funny how fast Alabama weather changes. One minute I’m working on the farm and enjoying the nice evening then suddenly hear rumbles of thunder and see a wall of rain headed straight for me. Did allow for some cool pictures yesterday @spann

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

Gotta love the rumble of an old 7.3 idi. You can even hear the banks turbo spool up. And if you look close you can see it roll a little coal 😎

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

Ol Blue is finally back from the transmission shop. Got a full rebuild along with new heavy duty billet converter and stage one clutches. Drives and shifts much better now

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

This basically describes me perfect

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

Would love to have the new Polaris Razor from @DieselBrosTV _ . I’d take that thing trail riding everywhere! #Sweepstakes #MonsterJumpLIVEsweepstakes

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

@GBAMike Yeah that’s a possibility lol. But for right now I’ll stick with them being my farm trucks

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

So I bought another flatbed. 1990 Ford F-600. Has the 370-2v gas engine, 5 speed with 2 speed rear. Can’t wait to get it running again and make it my work truck

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

Time to begin cleaning my truck for the show this weekend. It’s a car show, tractor show, and swap meet all in one. I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday 8am-4pm

[Dawson Presto @DawsonPresto]

Ol Blue finally got towed to the transmission shop this afternoon
