So decided to go after the one 18 hrs away, in about 3 weeks. It’s a solid foundation to work with so I’m going to spruce that one up. Manual steering I can deal with, not like it’s gonna be a daily driver. The 300 6cyl I’ll replace with a 302 in a year or so.

Welp just made it back from New York to Arkansas and back. Picked up the 79. Weather was ridiculous but worth it. Very happy with the purchase!

To all readers that might be sensitive about this sort of thing: I made up for the Chevy-towing-Ford karma about a year ago when I towed a Chevy with my Ford. Just so y'all know.

Looks like a good truck!

The Chevy too!

I'm curious what kind of car U-Haul thinks you're towing.

Well thank you, I did get a lot of looks the entire drive home lol

Honestly I put down what I was really towing on the website a few weeks back and it let me reserve it surprisingly. She JUST fit in there with extra straps to old her down.
