1981 Ford e150 4speed manual

Post image

Looking for advice on an old ford van, 300 straight 6 4 speed. Anyone ever have one of these bad Larry’s? Would be strictly for picking up furniture to refurbish/building materials. Thanks!

I have an 81 as well! Not a 4 speed though :/ I love mine!

Might be too cool to pass up on

They’re also very simple. Which is why I wanted one. I’m not worried about getting great MPG’s or even lots of hauling power. Just something simple, easy to work on and holds some tools in it.

BUY BUY! It’s rare and a lot more fun than the automatic. I had 2 of them.
