[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1108559, member: 14668"] I learned to drive in a rusty old 1967 friend-100 2-wheel drive pickup with the 300 straight 6 motor and 4 speed manual with compound low first gear. Manual steering, and a hole in the dash where the AM radio used to be. Had a big bench seat with holes in it covered with duct tape and a blanket. It was pretty much identical to the P-600 package cars I would start my UPS career in a few years later. My friends called it the "birth control mobile" because it was so ugly that no girl in her right mind would ever go for a ride in it. My dad told me "son, once you can learn to to drive this, anything else you ever drive will be a piece of cake." The old bastard was right. That truck kept me out of trouble in more ways than one, I never got laid in it and on a good day with a tailwind and my foot all the way to the floor it topped out at around 65MPH with that old motor screaming.
