You might could do a 700R4 trans swap in the chevy. Idk, 96 everything is pretty much computerized.

Is the chevy 4x4? V8? Pics?

^I like that!

Simply because I'm a Ford guy, and I won't settle for less quality than a Ford, I wouldn't trade a Ford for a Chevy like that. If you were trading an 87 Ford F150 for an 06 Chevy 1500, sure I'd do that and sell it and buy a Ford in better shape with lots of money to spare.

I'm not a chevy fan either but I had a man that was going to trade me my 87 F150 4x4 on 35's for his 80 chevy scotsdale on 39.5's. I thought about it hard, but decided to keep my Ford.

Ended up selling my 87 and getting a 94 bronco for the same price. Lol.
