The truck is great....all manual with stick shift and no power brakes...mechanical linkage to the clutch....only thing automatic is when you turn the ignition key....the motor starts.
My 15 year old grandson is turning into a motor head. He bought a 1974 Ford 250 recently, still can’t drive yet, but he is rebuilding it. He learned to rebuild a carburetor, bought another junker truck for the axle and scrubbed and rebuilt the motor. He is home schooled so has time everyday to work on his project.
He loves to tell us all, that when the “EMP” hits and we are all dead in the water with our new cars, he will be coming over to pick us up.
I’m getting killed on parts for my Jeeps.
Military style dash is back ordered, I found a crack in the bell housing of the 304 I am finally getting around to and have a line on one. My biggest problem is finding another Dana 20 rear end or getting mine rebuilt.
Always something.
