not old enough to remember them as new, but my grandfather owned his own shop for like 40 years. He mainly only worked on older trucks and tractors. So I grew up working on that kind of stuff. Wasnt everything so much eaiser. then again I dont know what I would do with something like that now-a-days.

Chevy made those kind of vehicles till 95 in 96 they put in the l31 vortec.... Fords sine the 80's have had more vaccum lines that I'd ever want to mess with! Like they owned a hose business

I remember many meals eaten sitting on the wheel well and the burger bag sitting on the radiator. MMM... Nothing like a good burger seasoned with engine gunk.

Reach in??? I remember my Dad getting a F series(100 or 150, don't remember) with a "three on the tree" and "power steering by Armstrong", it had the good old 300" straight six with I think a single BBL carb(maybe it was a two BBL). That thing had enough room that you could CLIMB IN and sit on the inner fender and work on it. Well, at least as a kid I could.
Spark plugs easily accessible, distributor right there, carb too, etc.
