Also it was not real fast as it was a 150 hp 2 barrel carb 302 not the hi-po.

3 on a tree, I had a 65 ford PU with 3 on the tree. I broke the shifer off trying to speed shift. I cut a hole in the floor above the trans and installed a "Universal" hurst shifter. It would get stuck between gears ever time I tried to shift so I left it in 2nd and just used 2nd and 3rd gears. I had no 1st and no reverse.

It was the truck I took my wife on our first date back in 91'. It was a hull bucket but she went out with me again and been together 30 years.

She learned on my 89' Ranger pickup with a standard.

You can't beat old trucks
