    Lol, I remember the stickers on the card. My first truck had the dual knob head unit with 5 black buttons and one single speaker right in the middle of the dash. Pull the black button out to set the preset station. Then push it in to watch it violently switch to that station. Not gonna lie....I yurn for those days. Now I have a $80k pickup with a touchscreen. Pshhhh, give me that '79 F150 any day! Loved that truck! If they weren't all rust buckets or high dollar now....I would buy another. My 359 had the same radio.....lol.

    Well, this not having a shop thing sucks! First time in a very long time doing a manual oil change. Its taking forever. Made a 30min job into a 2hour event. When I get my new shop built, I'm getting a pneumatic grease keg and oil gun!......like day 1. This is ridiculous!

    Where's the fun in that? Lugging a 5 gal pail up and standing on the tire to fill the oil is half the fun! :p

    Then the adapter to hook up to car tape player. Shotgun seat meant you had to balance it and change CDs while being yelled at for it skipping. Back seat was for collecting trash and handing out beers.

    2 hrs.I change mine in a dirt lot in 30 minutes.And that’s waiting for every drop to come out and also filling the empty pails with the used oil to take to Walmart so they can recycle it.

    I’d stand that barrel up and get a lever pump on there.

    Hoping to get my new shop in this year, so I'm trying to do this as cheap as possible for the moment. Then I'm getting a bulk tank dropped with a gun and a pneumatic grease keg. This manual crap is for the birds.
