When the 70 ran, my wife could not figure out the 3 on the tree. She's not real great with a clutch either. The manual steering was another factory. Thus I have a an automatic, power a steering and brakes added to the ole girl when ever she gets back on the road. Of course I had to add a V8 to handle all those accessories so my wife could share the driving privileges.
She wants nothing to do with the dirty part of vehicles, but she does like cruising and driving my trucks (once in a while). Unfortunately my wife/accountant is a 4 door car person, and trucks are my area, but she lets me go with it, so we are good!
