Is that 77 a 4speed....if so couldve left it in gearYeah I'd have preferred to use the old 77 Ford because it's taller. But it ain't got no parking brake.
No chocks though. Only sissies use wheel chocks.

They didn't have floorshift yet on a 77...
I know the 80s Ford Pickups were 4 on the floor

Yeah they did. Mine was just a bare bones model F-100.
It's got one of the three best American engines ever built though.
Ford 300 straight six
Jeep 4.0
Chrysler slant six.
They weren't the most powerful obviously but they're bulletproof.

I learned on an 81 F100 that was three on the tree when I was still short enough to have blocks on the pedals and pillows behind me on the seat.

Just call Norm Abrams.. HahaA truck with a 3 speed and a 4.10 axle actually CAN be useful for something, other than pulling out tree stumps.
It's a portable scaffold today.

I did this shed window yesterday. This had been wide open for a while... Like 15 years at least. The stud cavity had THREE FEET of bird nest material in it and two bird skeletons I got out with the shop vac.
Anyway I don't know how to frame windows but here's what I did.
I replaced 3 of the 5 windows but this is the only one that required wall surgery.
@Sinister calls this the "rape shack" but it's actually a milk shed.
They used well water to pre-cool milk while they were waiting for the guy in the Model T to come pick it up. The concrete cooler tub and the concrete lined underground water storage thing and hand pump well is all still there.
