Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Those of you that were fans of Tim Allen on "Last Man Standing" will certainly remember that in the final episode, his 1956 F100 was stolen. On Tim's new show, "Shifting Gears", the truck makes an appearance. In "Shifting Gears", he runs a mechanic shop that specialises in restomodding classic vehicles. He tells his guys that the truck was stolen from a guy in Denver, made its way to them, and since he knows the guy, he's getting it back to him. 3 2 Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) I've watched 3 episodes and I'm sorry but I'm not impressed. Too many snide remarks back and forth from him and his daughter. It's really kinda boring to me! Maybe it'll get better but I think Tim is handcuffed by ABC. When Last man standing went to Fox it was great! Edited January 23 by Rye Miles #13621 2 Quote

When Last man standing went to Fox it was great! I agree somewhat. To be fair though, the first season and about half the second of "Last Man Standing" weren't as great as later seasons. I think that it needs a little time to get it's footing and find it's voice. You'd think that ABC would have learned from "Last Man Standing" NOT to screw with a good thing. 2 Quote
Alpo Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Minor question. Not about the show - I've never seen either show. 1956 F100. Did they call it an F100 then? I had a 1969 Ford pickup. And on the side of the hood it said it was a "FORD 100". Not F100 - Ford 100. So that makes me wonder if there was such a thing as an F100 in 1956. Since there apparently was not such a thing in 1969. Quote
Eyesa Horg Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Doing a search for F100 brings up lots of pictures labeled F100. I didn't dare post one though!!! Quote
Alpo Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Apparently it was. I just did a search, as Eyesa mentioned, on 1956 and found this truck. https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/ideal/1/158/7458/1920x1440/1956-ford-f100 And it plainly says Ford F-100. I then did a search on 1969. https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/ideal/1/647/19586/1920x1440/1969-ford-f-100-ranger And as memory said, it is marked Ford 100. Quote

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 The daughter delivers many of her lines with a "can't believe I'm saying this dumb sitcom dialog" attitude. Norm on Cheers was similar. Quote
Blackwater 53393 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) The 1956 F 100 that I did major modifications to was badged “F100”’ …and I took these pictures myself! Edited January 23 by Blackwater 53393 1 2 Quote
