You never know what problems can be lurking beneath the surface of these old trucks. Something could be drastically wrong so check it out before too much drivin'. That said, my 77 y.o. mother, 5'2", a war bride from Paris France learned how to drive on pre and post war vehicles. This includes such high tech advances as a starter motor and windshield wipers. She was transformed from a petite little woman to a hard charging three on the tree shifter. She stood on that brake pedal. She'd look at me and say, "This thing steers like a truck." This presupposes that she'd driven one, which she did. A few months ago she needed to borrow a vehicle. I joked that she could use the dump truck. She smiled and said, "I'd be proud to drive that truck." She could do it too!!!
