First vehicle was a Honda Super-Sport 400four but first 4 wheel vehicle was a 1971 F100, a perfect transporter for the 'Wild West'-days of North Brooklyn. Everything has a story ...this one has many, starting when I was visiting my brother in Vermont, and had missed my train back to NYC, my brother pointed out to a field behind his house and said why don't you take the Ford? Consumed by tall grasses, it appeared to have been put out to pasture, and claimed by nature. With a bit of coaxing it fired up and I commandeered it back to the big city, no easy task. I don't think it even had power steering. No one ever tried to steal it but it provided shelter to a few bums & was eventually claimed by rust. Great truck all around. F 100 with '3 on the tree' converted by my brother to a Hurst floor shifter. Never had a problem merging into any kind of traffic, sometimes I really miss that truck.
