41chevy Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 That musta help speed up the grocery run!She didn't like it because it wasn't a stick shift any more. Originally a flathead 6 with 3 on the tree. Put the 6 back in and the Hemi in a 58 Studebaker Hawk.Got to say I'm envious of those of you who have photos of you and your trucks together.

Freightrain Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 LOL....my sister and her daughter are very, very stubborn and DEMAND a stick shift vehicle!!! Non of this pansy automatic crap for them. My niece went to buy her Audi A4 about a year ago and she picked one out. The salesman gave her a stern.>"oh, you don't want that one". She asked "why?". "It is a standard shift". She told him.."well, ya I know". Don't see many 24 yr old girls wanting a std shift.My girlfriend can't drive a stick for nothing. Just doesn't have the "coordination gene" that is needed. 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

I think she had one of the few MT5 Taurus' made.

Popular Post Vladislav Posted December 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2015 I have nothing of 30 y.o. pictures with a truck but those were made 25 years back.Turkish guy came to Moscow with a load of construction materials to supply the building built up by Turkish company.A friend of mine found it and told to the driver. Than called me and we were back on the next day.It was the first Mack I touched up by my hand.That's me in the cab on the passanger seat. 9 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43003-pic-from-30-years-ago/page/2/#findComment-315409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
