Question about Older model Ford vehicles?

[austin7.62]

1979 Ford F-100.  This one has a manual transmission--3 speed on the column.  I've owned this for about 2 years now and have never had a problem.  Parked in gear with emergency brake applied.
 

78-79 front clip?

I was born in the cab of a '72 F100, mom was hitchhiking from Milwaukee to Savannah and I was a pit stop. Cauterized my cord nub with the cigarette lighter.

Been a Chevy guy ever since.

Yeah, none of that's true... Was fun to write though.

I drive a Dodge.

Bought my first Ford in 1975 and have owned nothing but since then. Never had the problem and never heard of it that I recall.

You can go back and research stories about it back in the 70's in news articles. Thanks Austin 7.62 for your thoughts. I have my good days and bad days these days but hated it when doctor told me to go fishing cause my working days were over. I really loved working on cars but then I really learned to like fishing to. And now I enjoy shooting at the range but can't do a lot of that without using platform to support hand and pistol because rotatory cuffs in shoulders begin to ache. i can shoot for about 30 minutes then if I rest and have a cup of coffee with my arms down in resting position I can go back and shoot another 15 or 20 more minutes. Looking forward to getting that 22lr ammo from David and Sam so I can get back in the range. I am looking at trying to find someone That may want to sell a Bersa 22Lr pistol. I have been wanting one for some time. If I sell that Sig I ave offered on here I will buy one from Buds unless someone can recommend another place I should look for one................. :up: :up:
