YOU TOO??? There was a Mexico-based 67-72 Ford truck theft ring
operating in So Calif. for years before the CHP finally nailed them.
My '68 F258 got nabbed off the street and the beaners put over 100K
miles on the 390 that already had 150K miles on it. I got it back
five years later with the same oil filter on it. (!!!!!) The cam
bearings were trashed from high mileage/bad oil, and the rockers were
almost dry, but it was still RUNNING! The C6 was trashed from
overheating and no maintenance, but was still operable.
My truck was gone for 5 years, and one day, an investigator for the
CHP called and wanted to know if I owned a red '70 Ford F250 that had
been stolen. Mine was a '68 in aqua, and the theft ring was doing
"quick makeovers" with stolen titles and were changing the years.
In the windup, over 100 beaners, both legal and illegal, went to
prison on that caper, one of the biggest international vehicle theft
rings involving Mexicans until that time. They started out by
stealing '67-'72 Ford trucks, then branched out to '73-'76 as they ran
out of earlier ones. The ring operated all the way from San Diego and
Imperial county up to the San Joaquin Valley, and involved snatching
the truck, doing a quickie Earl Sheib paint job makeover, altering
appearance by removing various trim, and then either selling the truck
to illegals in California or using them a "goats" to run back and
forth across the border.
One reason those trucks were so easy to steal? Even a retarded first
grader can pick a Ford sidebar lock! Evidently, so can Mexicans.
Anyone who thinks illegal Mexicans deserve any sort of citizen****p
op****tunities needs to a bullet to the brain. These people are
genetic thieves and have room temperature IQs. The goal should be to
scoop them out of the US NOW by any means necessary and KEEP them out.
Idiot Bush Bird won't do this, because his Republipedo pals won't
stand for the loss of cheap labor, and he is STILL trying to get
"guest worker" provisions weaseled into the immigration reform bill in
the Senate as I write this.
A candidate for impeachment? Yes...even moreso than Andrew Johnson
was. Same goes for his maniacal veep, Dickhead Cheney.
The truck? Well, as anyone with a brain knows, once beaners have had
any vehicle for more than a year, it's only good for scrap. I gave up
trying to fix the destroyed interior and obvious Tijuana wiring repair
jobs, and scrapped it out and got another low miler '68 still in
original paint and interior. They also bent the frame behind the cab
from constant overloading, a typical Mexican trait. But the fact that
that 390 AND C6 were still running after all that abuse, and that the
truck was even driveable, stands as testimony to the ruggedness of the
"bumpside" Ford trucks.
