I have a '64 and a '66 ford truck and my brother has a '69 and they are all running strong. On the other hand, one of my brothers has an '81 Chevy and it's dead, and my other brother has a '62 Corvair and it is dead. I would never buy a chevy. If I ever won a chevy in a contest or something, I would sell it and buy a ford or dodge. I am all for the old dodges. Their ugly as sin, but they're power horses!! Long live FORD trucks!!
