New Podder, Redding CA

Mine is becoming a rarity in this part of the country.  Stick shift, single cab, long bed.  Great for hauling wood.  Only put 1.5 cords in at a time now, got to be easy on her, don't want to break her back.

Funny thing happened in a town near ours a few weeks ago.  They broke into his '89 F-250, knocked out the ignition switch and had the truck running, problem is they didn't know how to drive
a stick/clutch!  The owner heard someone grinding a couple pounds off his clutch, went outside but didn't catch the would-be truck-jacker.  I guess that is a plus that the younger crowd for the most part haven't ever driven a stick.  The majority of cars I owned up until my '90 Grand Caraven were sticks, '64 Dodge Polara 500 (hemi), '64 Dodge Polara 440 (hemi) '69 Corvette, '76 AMC Gremlin.  Those were all fun to drive, except the the Gremlin, that was a humble-maker.

Your 2004 f-150 is in fantastic condition.  My 1994 F-150 looks like it is ready for the boneyard but still runs great even after 300,000 miles and 31 deer kills.  It has a stick shift with OD and has the 5.0 L V-8 and has a lot of rust, thank you Michigan salt.  We just upgraded from a '08 Explorer to a '13 Explorer.  Looking forward to getting out, most of the snow has melted in the past 5 days, getting older - am glad to see the white stuff disappearing.

Glad to have you on board. I live I Chico and have a 179 I got about 3 months ago. If you are looking for an awning check out Marti's awnings in Chico. Hope to see you on the road sometime.

Welcome to the group! Congrats on your 178!
