[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1785303, member: 12607"] I remember my mom bought a used 1966 Impala that had the after-market AC in it. Also had after-market seat belts... first car we'd ever had that had them in it. I learned to drive in a 1954 flatbed Chevrolet... 3 on the column, had the starter button on the floor, and an overdrive thingy that you pulled out to engage it. Windshield wipers ran off vacuum from the carburetor. Kids today wouldn't know where to start... Only thing worse was a John Deere 'B' that dad bought... had a hand-clutch, and... I've forgotten how all this worked, but it had been modified by some pulpwooders... had a blade on the front (for pushing trucks) that went up and down, powered by a hydraulic cylinder powered by a hydraulic pump that ran off the PTO - and a winch off a small bulldozer mounted on the back that also ran off the PTO. It took about 6 hands to run everything on that monster. I'm 3 years older than my oldest tractor (that's my youngest driving that '61 JD 2010) [/QUOTE]
