Hell, back in the day, we couldn't wait to leave.......now you can't get them out with a crow bar.....
Thanks, bought it from my Grand Dad, rebuilt the motor and lifted it when I was 17 and drove it to high school senior year. Motor is strong! Needs a complete reboot now. That's the original paint too!
I enlisted in the Army just to pay my loans and to get away. I chose a duty station in San Diego, CA for my career after being raised on the East coast. If you ask the brain Can't, its because I felt I failed my dad and wanted to prove myself on my own.
done it. even helped a friend to push start his car a couple of late nights after work.
And battries ain't cheap!!!!
RETIRED!!!
'50 3/4 ton, 235 straight 6. Changed rear to a 3.42, disc's on the front, complete rewire, new interior, new wood bed, prolly 100 other things.....then sold him (Ernest) a few years ago. Had him 14 years. Lots fun but time for something different. I do miss him though.
WTF! Its not gonna buff out!Holy hell, lesson learned for the day is donāt let people borrow your truck that day they know how to operate
A so called friend of my dadās called to ask if he and his āexpert transport driverā brother could borrow his truck to move a trailer. Trying to be the nice guy he said yes. They showed up, and right away he said he shouldāve said no, the guy didnāt know to push the clutch in to start it to even look at the knob for starters before asking the gear pattern
They claimed they checked, but I could see wear on the locking pin it wasnāt fully in. They dropped the 5th wheel on his truck
wow original paint!
Funny, had the same year Ford also w/ the inline 6 and 3 on the column, was the most reliable vehicle I had in the late 70s to early 80s, drove the crap out of that one. I sold it and got the biggest POS I ever owned, a 73 Blazer, but at least that built 383 sounded badass
The gentleman w/ the crutches and boot looks less than thrilled w/ the whole situation, was he involved by chance??Holy hell, lesson learned for the day is donāt let people borrow your truck that day they know how to operate
