Oh, man, three in the tree too.
So many fantastic cars, so little time.

That reminds me of a car owned by a guy in my squadron overseas...He was the only guy on base who drove a Simca...It had a 4 speed manual, shifted on the column, but with a shift pattern the exact reverse of what you would expect...The car was weird, and so was he, but he seemed to like all things French so for him it seemed normal...:nuts:...BenQuote:

I had a 53 Chevy pickup with what was then I suspect the only choice. There was a "box" on the steering column in the engine compartment. That had the shift rods to the transmission mounted on it and on a fairly regular basis it would get stuck---in no gear.
The fix was to get out, open the hood, smack the little box and the rods a few times with a piece of 2 X 4 :shrug:
I like it - reminds me of the old TV's I'd whack to get then to work.
And, I miss the days when my Dad and I would take out the tubes, take 'em to Walgreen's, and test them on the machine there. And, the new tubes weren't expensive, as I recall. Now, when your TV goes out, you be screwed.

My first vehicle was a 1965 Chevrolet C-10 Style side short bed, straight six, three on the tree. I got really good to rolling to a stop at a light, jump out open the hood and reach down and unjam the shift levers. After several months I finally replaced the bushings to tighten them up and problem solved.Quote:

Could be but was yours painted forest service green with a brush and roller? Have 1/4" steel plate for a bed that was sealed so well if you parked it nose down it would look like a swimming pool? Mine got cooler, I pinstriped it with vinyl tape. Of course I wanted something newer than the 1957 5 window pickup my uncle found for me. :eyes:Quote:
