Only owned one good truck, which was a 1974 Ford Econoline Supervan. It had a 302 and the three speed manual transmission shift on the steering.. Original engine wore out at 314 thousand miles. Got a newish engine for 750 dollars, total installed. I put another 100 thousand and 75 miles on it. Then sold it for two hundred dollars to a trades man. This was a huge mistake. I should have kept that van, as it is a classic now. And you will not see this in Jay Leno's collection, for some reason. It was, and still is, a great vehicle. Cause you can fix it. I took this van, 12 times across North America. And I could always fix it, even in the most remote of places. Try to do that with your new car.
