if it's adjusted properly there's no need to worry about throwing a belt.

packard was pretty cool man.

I got called in for overtime today, which turns my 24 into a 72. Fuck being home, I guess.

Anyway, I got a number thrown at me for this truck I found a couple weeks back. $900, no drive train. I know Fords of that era are notoriously rotty, but if this one isn't completely garbage, is that a decent price? Keep in mind I don't have a motor on hand to drop in it at the moment.
