Well guys, I have a 70 f-250 and a 77 chevy, both 4x4s and I can tell you if I want to do any heavy hauling I take the chevy. This doesn't mean I don't love my old ford but the truth is the truth. By the way the ford has the biggest motor and a 4 speed trans,and about half as many miles on it as my chevy. They're both really fine old machines
