Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

There goes me using it for a chair, then.

 

@RustyGreen what was the 5 on tree?

 

Probably a 3.8 V6.

For 2 years (82 & 83) Ford offered a 3.8 V6 engine as a credit option over the base 300 (4.9L) in line six.
I worked with a fellow who bought one used with very low miles from an estate.

It was the cheapest truck possible from Ford - 3.8, 3 speed on the wheel, short box, no radio, clear glass, manual brakes, rubber floor - the only option was power steering & he was thankful for that.

Like yours it was a genuine cow to drive offering moped like acceleration, it was quite good on gas though.

 

Older European cars often had 4 speed on the wheel, if you count reverse you would have 5.

 

Exactly it, Papa's did have a radio and power brakes, and steering, but it topped out at 75 mph. Which in hindsight was plenty for teenager, I still managed to get my first ticket in that truck within 6 weeks of getting my license... 54 in a 35

 

Pretty sure you and a hundred friends can jump and down on it with no issues. I sat on it. I stood on it. I jumped on it. Zero movement.

 

Goodnight everyone, sleep well

 

Good morning Wrenchmen

I was contemplating watching a movie last night, nodded off in the chair -
- and woke up at 4:30.

Slept unusually soundly.

 

Good morning everyone, hope your Friday is a great and blessed day.

 

Contract accepted. Space Center can proceed without interruption. I'm happy with it. Happy Friday everybody.

 

That is a relief.

You have enough exciting things in the near future, good to have the job settled.

 

Woke up at 02:15 to the coyotes having a go and Mal moaning and barking. After about 5-15 minutes I turned on the spot lights it all quiet down and went back to sleep. Let Mal out and deer were sleeping up behind the house. I guess it was a safe place for them.

 

Ahh!!!! My bud had a Pacer with a three on the tree in High School!

Spoiler: I think I mentioned this before

We called it the Birth Control Mobile because we weren’t picking anyone up in that thing

Good morning everyone

 

Both, supposedly

 

My mom found these recently and brought them to the kids. Apparently my brother and I forgot about em and never opened them.

 

I bought a 1980 Chevy truck from my father in law that had a 250 six cylinder and 3 on the tree. That truck was sick. Wouldn’t get out of its own way. I sold it shortly after

 

Friday February 30th at my work.

 

1st one ever, we’ll take it. Good morning friends
