And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My dad bought a brand new '79 F250 Custom. Bench seat with a 4 speed manual that was actually 3 with a creep gear. 351 with a 4:11 in the rear. Learned to drive in that truck, 11 years old out in the woods cutting for the basement fireplace. He put me on the 14 inch chainsaw limbing for him too. He always said it was a great setup and one of the best years for Ford. Seem to recall him saying the front diff was geared at 4:10 so it always was pulling just a hair more than the rear. We never did get stuck, even in some of the deepest mud. He drove it until '98 when he bought the first model year Super Duty. He still has the SD sitting in his drive. Good memories.
I'll take the blue one on the right.
