Mine was a 78 F150 300 6 Banger w/ 3 speed on the column 2 wheel drive with tires as Big as Salty's on the rear. I had to rebuild my tranny and rear end at least 3 times each from spinning the tires going into 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear. I got pretty good at re building, plus I don't know how many motor mounts I had to replace. I finally, puy a chain on the motor to reduce destroying the motor mounts.

I also found some sweet red buckets seats out of a new salvaged camaro that I installed. Built own removable speaker boxes with 100 watt equalizer, had 8 track, cassete and cb.
