I recently had a 1972 F100 that I drove for work. I literally put a sign on my tailgate warning that it was a standard and may roll back on hills. People still pulled right up behind.
In the mid 70s had a 64, 292 4spd, real nice shape half ton,, buddy had to move and asked if could use, stupidly said ok, day came and he comes over, leaves his car, and goes to leave with truck, blew it up shifting from 2nd to 3rd, after being told Y blocks hated high rpm's, its not like his pos import that he always ran to redline then shifted, used his pos to get it back in my driveway, then went engine shopping, found a 312 Y block that i traded his car for, he stops over as finishing hooking stuff up for his car, asks wheres car, told him at the yard i got the engine, _ came with his pickup to haul the engine and me home,,,,finished up, gave a ride and dropped off at end of driveway at the yard, never saw him again, deputy was waiting for me at home, after questioning and hearing entire story deputy said have a nice day and left
@@HiHootie no, the 64 was traded about 6 months later for a 74 f250 hiboy, do reminisce about them from time to time tho, as well as quite a few other vehicles that had flipped in the day, you know the old damn I shoulda never gotten rid of _ ,
