my old chevy fit that to a T. i found out a year after i bought it that the sluggishness and 'dieseling' after i shut it off (turn it off the motor starts running backwards, had to pop the clutch and stall it out) weren't just off timing and a junky carb... the firing order was all messed up and i'd been pretty much running on 3 of 6 cylinders. awesome. i wish i had pics of my cousin adjusting the timing while sitting on the inner fender while i drove down the road with the hood up. after the fix, the motor still leaked, rattled and ticked, but she had a lot more power haha. lit up a set of 31x1050's like the 4th of july. Im a ford guy, but i will say this- that chevy was TOUGH.

i did a stint as the town garbage man for a while, using my dad's 98 chev 3/4 ton and an old boat trailer he 'converted' into a box on wheels... hauled 23,000lbs of trash between the trailer and truck bed... when i hit bumps, the front end would lift off the ground made for an interesting ride! slap wheelies are fun.

I beg to differ... my cousin's got a '51 dodge powerwagon with a (gas) chrysler 383 and 44s... hooked it up to his dad's diesel Ram... no contest, Ram didnt stand a chance. we hooked the PW up to his dad's big ol' Farmall tractor and towed it right out of the driveway and down the road, tires just a-spinnin, with the PW still in 2WD. Tried again with his Detroit-diesel Skidder... broke all 4 of the chains before we could really start pulling either way. We'd put it (the PW) in 4L and knock down trees, and im not talkin' alders. 8-12" diameter trees. truck weighs 6000+ lbs easy, top speed is about 60mph, but when you can let the clutch out at a dead stop in 4 low in 4th gear, there aint much that can get in your way for very long. Diesel doesnt always outpull gas!

Myself and my family have about 27 fords total right now....(lots of pre-50's projects), and I will swear by fords. Every vehicle costs money. Every vehicle has it's flaws, but just remember where vehicles originated..........First On Race Day!!!

Yeah,, uh... if I recall correctly, the same time that henry ford started to add different factory colors to the model T line, GMC was making one tons for the army in WWI... so who had the upper hand? I had a ford, loved it but it was bare bones, so I bought a trick 98k1500, was so awesome. Then, I started to spend too much money, sold the truck to my brother, bought a **** dodge that I loved to offroad in, started having troubles with it, so I sold it and my fourwheeler and bought another chevy that was a trade in at work. Couldnt resist, so sweet just look at my pics!!!
