I bought my first car before I was old enough to legally drive. It was a 1971 Pontiac Ventura, 6 cylinder and 3 on the tree. I never put it on the road for myself, my father ended up buying it from me for what I paid for it and I had done some body work to it.Then a friend of mine bought a 4wd pickup so I bought his 1973 Ford pickup and put that on the road in 1979 . Also 6 cylinder 3 on the tree and no power steering. Like many of the others in this post, no financial help from parents for the truck or insurance and when I was at home I also never got to use their vehicles unless I was doing an errand or something for them.

Posting this brings back memories of those days and the amount of spare time spent working on those vehicles and my friends vehicles. That was back when an upstate NY car or truck would need some body work by time it was 5-6 years old.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
