mines a 79 ford auto 400... guts to crawl and growl working wood but lacks balls trying to move wet snow with out 4x4!!

I was thinking some bfg's or something along those lines would help. My tandem trailer is were it would be handy. 3/4 ton will pull it but ya wouldn't want a rookie driving! My luck it'll be sitting on 16.5's and have to buy rims too.

A friend of mine had a 79 with the 400 and 4 speed. Still one of the best trucks I've been around.

Those are great trucks. Good wood haulers. Friend I used to cut wood with had one with 400 and 4 speed and a pto winch, he would chain back bumper to a tree so he could pull more

That thing was tough!

With the crime wave that has been going on around here the last few years, I have several self defense weapons stashed around the house. I like interchangeable ammo weapons. I have the 44mag pistol as well as the 44mag carbine. I have the glock 17 and the keltec sub 2000. The 22mag AMT, Ruger single six and the marlin bolt action rifle. Then there is the 12ga mossberg pumps, one with short barrel and folding stock and a turkey model. If I need the range, I have several long rifles in various calibers. I keep several guns loaded and plenty of ammo on hand and where I can reach them. Just because I have my feet propped up and watching tv dont mean I cant shoot a crook before they get past the doorway.

Sounds like things are out of control where you are. The thought of an intruder entering my house never even crosses my mind where I live.

We have 2 Pitbull mixes … I don't even lock my doors!

Hey, just be careful you don't come home facing one of your own loaded guns!

Divine intervention might be her only hope at this rate. There's a case to be made that if the parents did know better it wouldn't have come to this but I'd be making the case they are themselves the living consequences of liberal dysfunction. It's just so tragically predictably dysfunctional but it's their normal. I could see this coming years ago, as could everyone else in the family but they simply couldn't be told their liberal BS would end in tears. They simply wouldn't accept they didn't have the rest of the skills and motivation to make liberal parenting work. Without which it's more dumb luck than anything else, if a kid makes it to adulthood well-adjusted.

*edit* news just in, she's been committed for three weeks. Finally, some good news.

I can't judge because I know nothing of the people or situation. I do however live in the people's republic of Ontario where the megalopolis of Toronto governs the whole province. Oodles of liberal insanity. My 14 year old daughter is doing her homework at the kitchen table right now. Trying to get her assignment done early so she can play sports. She also has a job. At 14. Mental health aside, I'd like to think that good parenting plays a huge role.

I had a 78 F250 high boy with the 400. Never was my favorite engine but it was a cool truck. Eventually converted it to manual steering because it was cheaper than buying the 1 long steering arm just to replace the tie rod end.

One of my favs was a 73 F-250 390 4spd. It was a pulling MoFo!

This flatbed has a sposed low mile 460 auto C6 I Spose. AMX if lucky? Only AMX I had didn't hold up long but it was special lol!

I like the old 429/460 engines. Pretty easy to find torque! Best I have had was a mercury with the 460 cruiser version police interceptor. Wasn't extremely fast in the 76 grand marques (weighed about the same as a suburban) but it embarassed a few anemic Camaro's and Monte Carlos.

cant put the young ones in the real world at 40 we were told as we hit the door for school everyday and work after school and grad.! teach them young that nothing is free or inexpensive! there's a price on everything. good on you for setting your household right! teach them young and they will respect them selves with dignity of life!

I live north of Reading, it's a war zone in the city. There are shootings caused by road rage, home invasions, and the like...

Not even good parenting, but rather responsible parenting...just being their as a parent.

I love those late 70's fords. I've never owned one and likely won't. Had a 74 Bronco and regret letting it go. 302, lockers on both difs, dual tanks. A real fun truck that got lots of compliments.

I have a 460/C6 in my van that I use as a woodshed. If anybody needs one of those sets let me know.

Couldn't agree more.

Dang Nate!!! That thing is awesome!!!!!

I keep all but one of my firearms locked up due to the fear of coming home and finding them missing. Wife and kids know the “intruder routine”. Pray to God they never have to execute it. Sure they’d never be right in the head again.....

Hope each of you fellas have a Great Thanksgiving and remember everything we are thankful for. I often make my kids watch this infomercials with the kids picking through garbage to remind them just how good we have it in a first world country. Just cause they live well doesn’t mean they can’t be humble.
Have a great day tomorrow with your families fellas!!
