Lets compare that vid to this one. 2015 F150 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOVse3YUrQI |

Best thing about the video is seeing New Zealanders actually working.

See the 250 had a white air cleaner with a grey lid and she has a sticker on the rocker cover like our Cleveland 351 got back then, I wonder what it says.

Did the Kiwis get the v8 models too?
The kid picks a purple one(wild violet?), Bruno must have traded in his purple Valiant. |

4 min 10 sec mark, is that where they dipped them in a salt water pool?
And on the rolling road the guy check the windscreen washer jets...why don't they still do that? Perhaps they would have spotted the fact the jets in a Territory squirt straight into the parked wiper blades. |

Why Sammy would you be implying that is why they were built to rust?

GMH at Trentham at that time had a sealed booth and full suits with air for lead work. They must have thought more about lead health than Ford at that stage. |

Slam the windscreen in and give it a few belts with a rubber mallet for good luck. See how close they are on the car carrier. They would have been kissing bumpers on every gear change of the truck.
