Such a proud Owner

This is not a thread asking for advice by any means, however. it is a thread about how proud i am to be a ford owner! Recently put together a 1990 f250 with a 460 and a 5spd with 3.55's.. currently has a front drive shaft missing, however, The big ol' girl still pulled a camper that had been sitting for many many years, stuck in the dirt about rim deep. pulled it like a champ.. rocked it once, and she pulled right on out!

I wouldn't trade my Rusty old Ford for a new GM or Dodge. I feel most that own a Ford truly enjoy them.

well, my dad blew the tranny on his dodge once and it needs a new one again, and sometimes it doesn't run on all cylinders, he says that if he buy a new truck it will probably be a ford LOL

Agreed.
I'll rebuild my truck ten times over before I trade it for anything else. Even the new trucks don't seem to compare to the durability of these old Fords.
