Stopping progress? Why? One guy here said he'd stop with vehicles in the 70's??? Wow. Crap Bias ply tires, Crap drum brakes, Crap reliability, Crap fuel economy, Crap safety standards... Why would ANYONE want a 70's vehicle that was shot at 75k miles over ANY vehicle of today is just broken in at 150k miles??? Do I want my 1971 Ford F100 back? Heck yeah!

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
