Conversation Between DBGrif91 and nstueve

Wow... that is hard to believe around here. Up until I was about 16 all my dad ever drove were manuals- so both me and my sisters all learned how. My sisters probably couldn't do it now if you needed them to, but they still learned.

Yeah I do plan to get the stuff together for a manual swap but it's just not very high on the priority list right now. However I do have plans to restore my beast in the future so that will be the ideal time to do it.

How's come you're getting rid of them?

we can fix that... just go find a M5OD, steering column, and misc parts! The misses wants an auto 4x4 for the bad winter days... she doesn't like shifting... Somehow she never learned how on a farm! Can you believe that... on a farm her whole life!!!!???!!!??? Anyway 3 of mine will be disappearing soon... just have 2 left by next summer...

Thanks. It's a good ol' beast- very dependable. Only trouble I've had is when I go trying to fix something. Only complaint I have is that it's auto- I prefer a clutch when it comes to Iowa winter driving.

nice truck DB!
