I don't like them but respect an old 1971 1/2 ton Ford 2WD pickup 302 with three in the tree.
It was a great field bomber with the differential welded solid.Amazing where it would go with a pair of good mud/snow tires.
Exhaust cut off just past the manifolds, re-jetted carb, cam timing adavance back to the 1970 210HP rating. The rusty front and rear fenders, hood along with the door skins were tossed in the scrap pile.
The ground was visible through some parts of the cab, wasn't through the windows either.
98,000 miles and reved it in 1st or 2nd gear until points bounce limited rpms to about 5500rpm.
Pile of fun, noise and a few adventures along the way. Used to heap the box to the max with maple firewood blocks to haul firewood up from the bush.
Never did break it. My brother sold it for scrap during a cleanup binge and because I enjoyed it so much.
