82 ford w/4.9 vs. 93 chevy w/4.3

I gonna leave this to the experts, the two vehicles in our driveway are a 1982 ford F100 with the 300 inline 6 and c4 trany w/240,xxx miles and my dads 1993 chevy 1500 with a 4.3 v6 and a 4 speed w/ overdrive, 217,xxx miles on fresh rebuild on its second motor. I need you guys to settle the on going fight over whos truck is better. both are standard 2 door cabs, 8 foot boxs, and rwd. mines sitting about 3 inchs higher in the rear thanks to new f250 leaf springs 2 inch lift blocks and some big tires. whos truck would be better for hauling fire wood/deers out of the woods, hauling junk to the dump,and if it came down to chaining them together and letting them drag each other around in the field. i thank you for any advice on the subject

Thats a good question. 10 yearsdifference between the 2. The 300 is a carbed motor while the 4.3 is afuel injected motor. A big difference. I would think since you have the 250 springs your truck would be better for haulin. Are we talkin 4 wd here.? In a tug of war if you have the bigger tires you would pull him better. What size tires on the Chevy.

Only way to find out who's better is put your question's to the test and see for yourself.
