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.

I had a '76 Ford F-100 with an inline 300 6 and shift on the column.
It was my fishing/hunting truck. Good truck. Just drank a lot of gas
for a 6 banger.

In 1994 I bought my first truck before I had my license it was a 79' Ford F-100 with a 302 V-8 and auto tranny. I had to fill the oil and check the gas on that thing, i don't remember it burning a ton of gas but I was big balling in H.S. I made $7.50 an hour and worked about 32 to 50 hours a week. I had 2 8" Bazooka bass tubes, 2 Blaupunkt 6x9's, 2 6 1/2" Blaupaunkt in the Doors, 3 44 watt autotek amps pushing it all and an Alpine Deck. I paid 900 cash for the truck, used it 2 years and sold it for $1200. It also had glass packs on it that would rattle what the sound system wouldn't. I
