I had a 74 Bronco with a three on the tree, a rebuilt 302 and the tow package. First gear topped out at about 12 mph, in third you struggled to hit 65 mph, but 2nd had the widest range of any gear I have experienced in a stick shift.

I still drive a 5 speed but the hill to my house(3k ft elevation change) from town tends to eat brakes in most automatic transmissions, I don't have that issue, I only got 170K out of my last set of brake pads wink
