Arrow driving '77 e100

just trashed my '82 f-150's tranny. (3sp. converted to the floor) and i broke a shifter bracket for the second time. anyway my dad is giving his father's old '77 e-100 w/ 300ci and three on the tree.
but the thing is that it has manual brakes and steering. how is that? i dont know if i'll be used to it.

Manual brakes aren't that bad. You can always upgrade the MC and put in a booster. Just get used to leaning on it a little. The interesting part is that you'll learn about keeping a SAFE distance between you and the car in front of you.
