What would you change your name to Mike?
Treemike?
Lmao!

That is funny right there I have a picture for it then :toothy8:

Nice video Mike! Like you I learned how to drive with a three on the tree. It was a 53 ford pick up. Latter in life my Dad had a Bronco with a 302 and a three on the tree in it. I had it out and was throwing power shifts in it to show off and pulled the shifter out of the column.
I was sure scared to tell my Dad what i did, but all he said was "Oh I did the same thing a while back"

I here that Stan, I know the felling ops: 69 ford 2?? straight 6 and the column broke at the pin :tongue9:

Like your dad I just stuck it back in place and drove on home :cheers:
Scared the baggeppies out of me, I threw it in 2nd and there it was on the floor.

I also learned to drive on 3 on the trees. I remember one truck my Dad has 67 plane jane Chebby with a stock rack and Studebaker hubcaps. But it had a 327 4brl and 3 spd on the tree. We rebuilt that 327 and boy was it a sleeper. That was a nice shifting 3 on the tree too.

Good morning Pete, The 69 ford had a pot metal collar :banghead: that could not be welded to fix it, a trip to a salvage yard to fix the farm truck I was driving, better than crawling down a strawberry row
Is your 59 shifting collar made of steel, or is it pot metal also ?

 

[FISHYPETE]

Good morning to you sir, It is steel and was previously welded, bought a parts truck for the needed parts,this being one of them,for its restoration. Do you have a cup holder? No power steering and 3 on the tree makes for some interesting early morning coffee stops. LOL

Yes Pete it does make for some interesting drives But it's zero to no traffic when I get out I am sure you already know Victoria don't need power steering. even sitting still it is easy, on a role its a one finger tuner :happy1:
