I worked with a guy who has one of these and he isnt either a farmer or rancher he is just a pig

Our 2005 F350 doesn't quite qualify, but won't be long.

Mine is a 1983 ?Bronco that I bought new. It's a rusty trusty and when
you turn the key in the ignition the mice began to run around in the cab.
I doubt anyone will steal it but if they do, it's insured so go for it.

All my trucks have Manual Transmissions. In this day and age, it's an additional security measure.

We had a 1980 Ford F150 4wd with more than 400k miles on it. The kids called it Bubba Truck. We took it into the woods to haul fire wood. We hauled huge loads of hay, mulch, gravel. Pallets of grain and feed. It was a true farm truck. Dual gas tanks, four speed tranny and first gear only good to about seven mph but would pull the house off the foundation. Dented and scratched, it wasn't pretty, but Bubba was a goer.

Back in the day my dad had a 57 Chev half ton long box step side pickup. When I got my license he bought a new pickup and passed the 57 on to me with the understanding when I was done with it my brother would get it. And then when he was done our youngest brother would get it. Well it went perfectly according to plan. In fact the 1974 chev short box step side he bought new is still at my youngest brothers house. True to chevys of that time it is very rusted out with a see thru floor. And of course the fenders too. 350 with a three on the tree almost like the trucks described above but without a granny gear. Fun memories.

Double sided coin on that.
I've had more manual transmission clutch wearout than auto transmission failures.
But I was replacing the clutch plates myself when I was younger and stronger.

Funny you say that. I've been shifting gears for over 50 years straight now and I never wore out a Clutch yet. I've replaced some that were worn when I bought the vehicles, but never one from new or even good used. And I used to race some of them!! I've always had full size American made vehicles, if that may have made a difference.
