OT:Things We Did as Kids (Dad's 51 F6)

Posted by RBnSC on February 09, 2013 at 05:43:00 from (24.236.77.56):

Growing up My younger brother and I did almost every thing together and at 56 and 54 we still do. Back when we were around 12 and 14 Dad quit with his 51 ford F6. He took the bed off and put it on a 65 F600. The F6 still ran good but did not have brakes. It had one tire on the right rear and two on the left. It became our toy and we drove it around the farm and thru the woods hunting. After a while we realized that the emergency brakes worked and as we took turns one driving and the other manned the brake stick we traveled farther and faster. One day when our parents had gone to town we decided to go as far as the "paved road" about 1.5 miles away. A quiet secondary road. Our express purpose was to spin the tire and make it smoke. First we would take turns revving it up and sidestepping the clutch in first gear then second. Quickly that got boring so we decided to back up as fast as we could force it into second gear and rev it and sidestep the clutch. That worked, it would spin that one tire about 6 to 7 ft. then slowly start going forward smoking that old slick tire. What a blast. That old flathead V8 was tough. The next time we had a chance to go out there we rung the hub out of the center of the clutch disc and had to walk back home and get a tractor and pull it back. We put a disc in it but lost interest as our next project showed up as dad brought home a 58 Opel with a stripped timing gear. But that is another story.
