Manual steering, non-power brakes, and stick shifts was standard. Power steering, power brakes, and automatics was options on some cars. ALL 4x4's had manual locking hubs, and transfer cases that you had to shift with a stick for high and low range. Tune ups was points, plugs, condenser, cap and rotor. Maybe air and fuel filters. Set timing with a timing light.

And btw, your generation (I do not mean any disrespect by this) was spoiled compared to freddy flintstone’s era lol.
