1970 F100 6cyl 300 with a 3 on the tree. It was 10 years old. I was 15. I rebuilt the 6, beat the snot out of it untill I broke the coloum shifter, then put a 4 speed in it. I drove that about 3 years. then got a 73 Chebbie c10 350 and 3 on the tree, same story with the shifter, doing burn outs and brike the shifter off the coloum. drove that one about 3 years, the got a 78 Gooofy motors K25 350 at had the rebuild the engine it had a broken wrist pin when i bought it. kept that about 3 years. then bought a brand new 88 Doge W250 with a plow, I scared the crap out of the salesman test driving it down the highway 80 MPH with the plow on it. It had a 360 and AT. then 1990 the 88 got broadsided so after it was fixed I traded it for a 1990 W250 Diesel with a 5 speed, kept that untill 1997, sold it to buy a rental property. I shoulda kept the truck and passed on the rental. backtracked back to a 78 GMCK10, put new JCwhitney doors and fenders on it, I hated it and bought a new 99 Dodge diesel 5 speed.shortly after I got my 46 WDX and the 48 B1 . there are other vehicles that came and went but I wont bore you any more with the work vehicles and cars. I do miss my 72 Charger I had in 1983 had a 400 and slap stick At and the rally package, airgrabber hood. I miss the open hood scoup and 4 barrel wide open sound.
