not for sale! She loves me so much, today i drove a 72 sport Custom it started right up i'm worried about the starter being the key and a button like in a big rig, what makes a p.o. do that?

Any ways when i got back in her she was jealous and i had to show her affection(adjust timing from 8* to 6* and a few other things. then i explained it was only to be sure the co worker would make it home.

Sometimes people put the button starter in when the ignition switch goes bad, rather than replacing it. You can also run a jumper wire from the coil to the battery and start our trucks at the solenoid, without ever using the key or a button. Something to think about as far as the possibility of your truck being stolen goes.

What year did that happen? (moved the key and beefed up the mechanism). I once went with a friend to look at a truck his friend had for sale, I think it was a '67. The friend didn't have his key. They were stunned and amazed when I showed them that we didn't need no stinking key!!! :lol:

I think is was '80 when they moved the ignition to the column. My '79 was on the dash, my '84 was in the column. I had parts truck once that I'm 90% sure was an '80 and it was on the column.

What!? No.....uh uh. My truck ain't goin' no where without me. I have too many memories with mine and it has never let me down, I just couldn't get rid of a member of my family. Extreme family emergency "maybe".
