When I bought my 1978 Ford in 2002, it still had the bright green "Valenti" stamp on the firewall, which was the stamp put on by the person doing the final inspection( I assume). Over the years, I have seen several of these stamps on trucks that came from the San Jose factory. I believe Duncan has the Valenti stamp on his truck also.
I started doing some research on this individual and discovered that Joe Valenti worked for Ford in the San Jose plant until the plant was shut down in 1983. I also found that he died just last month at age 81 in San Jose.
RIP, Joe. You produced some fine trucks.
