I have had many good Fords. I just had bad luck with that last one. Losing a transmission at 85thousand miles is not good.I had a 60 F-100 that was a blast to own and drive. A straight 6 that never quit and a 3 on the tree that was a little clunky to operate but good fun. Another Ford that I have fond memories of is a 78 F-350 that my former fiance ran off with last December. Boy was that SOB stout. I swear I could hook it up to my house and pull it off the foundation. I had bad luck with 1 Ford out of the dozen or so I've owned. Big deal. I'll buy onother one. I'll just steer clear of the 4R70W transmission. By the way if anybody cares I'm buying my truck back from the bank on the first. I finally got my retirement pay straightened out and am getting a little over 29 grand in backpay. I plan on buying the truck back outright and putting a new transmission in it.

Yes it will be debt free for me. I just have to keep myself away from the Lincoln dealership. I'll be getting enough in retirement pay (4 grand a month) that I can actually retire. Isn't it a law that retired people need a new Lincoln Town Car Cartier Limited? I thought I read that somewhere.... Must remain strong and resist temptation.....

My wife started calling my '48 F1 'Wendy' ( parts is parts) and the name stuck.
Our '77 F150 is only white - plain boring total Wimbledon White - it has been 'Spook' from the beginning.
None of the rest of the rigs around here are named - only refer to them by year or color.
