ok so my buddy thinks his chevy is the baddest truck in town, its got 33 superswampers, a 350, detriot lockers, its a 90's model. he wants to hook up to my 78 f-150 with a 390(might be a 400 not sure) granny low, 4:56 gears, 35 inch mud king tires, who do you think would win the pull the chevy or my ford?

 

its all about whos got the most weight, best gear ratio and most contact patch with a wide tire....you tell us whos heavier and i think if its you, you should win without a hitch.(expecially if its a 390)

 

Sounds like they will two broken trucks when its all over, with the Freightliner flatbed tow truck bringing in the win.

 

Who cares? Where do the people that I hear about on these forums come from anyway?

But it'll be the person that doesn't burn out. Your buddy sounds like an idiot. Knowing idiots from my line of work, the first thing he'll do is floor it and spin the tires. Just set your brakes. Spinning tires=no traction. After he's spinning, ease into it and pull him all over.

After it's all over, play the banjo.

Dodge will own both of you.....

 

If you can't add weight. See the above post. Dodges stock are tug boats.

 

Actually, almost any Super Duty will own any of the above as they are, by far, the heaviest production pickup out.

 

Why the hell does everyone want to do tug of wars with their trucks to prove which one is superior?

It just seems to me like a good way to end up with broken gears, u-joints and transmissions.

 

Well you beat me to making that point, there are a bunch of kids who like to do that around here too, never have really seen the point

 

Yes ..LOL..You are correct there ..Nice post..

 

My International would out pull anything.

 

Of course TONS of things come to play here. Like if your Ford does not have limited slip rear axle and his Chevy does, then that is one thing in his favor. You can have the baddest everything, but if he can put more power to the pavement, then he will own you. A truck pull really does not prove anything. Throw a few thousand lbs in the bed of each and drive them around.

 

That will be a cool test. Load the full payload on the back of both of those truck and race a 1/4 mile.

 

SMIGGS could you expain more??

 

Sure!
