You know Dave I thought it was. Could never find what I wanted on a sales lot. Bastard car dealers back then never ordered trucks for stock that had any features I wanted. Everyone of the trucks on a sales lot seemed to have an auto and V8. I never ever had to go inside that 300 at 183k it would be down about a half qt on the oil and I'd just change it. If Ford could have put their EFI in it and cruise on a manual transmission back then it would have been perfect. Some guys I knew never understood the 6cyl part but it would sure roll the torque on smooth and keep you from getting stuck. The truck also had a sliding rear cab window as well as all the windows in the factory topper.Seems like back then I'd wear out a set of tires every 20k until I got smart and put on a set of TOYO Open Country radials. Can't wait to see Betty done. Magnum Man
