We, on occasion, would put it in low/low gear and then walk beside it while it slowly rolled along at idle speed. (ah' the good old days)
Old Ford trucks do have that reputation for the low walk. I have a 2 speed rear end waiting to go on the truck some time next year in hopes of a bit more speed on the highway. That will have to wait as I am starting on my 18 T p/u soon.
