'66 Chevy Fleetside pickup......3 speed w/rebar stick...... in 6th grade. An uncle had given the truck to my older brother for a summers worth of work, he never got it insured and tagged so it just sat out back. My younger brother and I would come home from school and drive that thing all thru the orange groves. My mother found out and pulled the coil wire, we snagged one off the neighbors junk car and was back in business.
Bwa ha ha ha ha!
I learned on a 63 Chevy truck that had a 327 Vette engine and matching four speed. Still had the Vette shifter so when you went for the gear change you had to lean over so far to grab the shifter, you would lose sight of the road behind the dash.
