I seen somethin that made me sick the other day, i seen a 78/79 ford in a fourwheeler magazine and he replaced the rearend, a 9", w/ a gm 10 bolt. Why would he do that? Ford makes the best rearends, y would he replace the 9" w/ a 10 bolt? (shudder)
1970f2504x4! Why do you believe installing "GM" parts in a Ford crazy? Parts is parts. It starts with ore, a smelter, hammering, machining and after that's all done, brand labeling. Chances are scrap iron from all manner of automobiles was used to manufacture the steel used to build your Ford. So what's the BFD? I like using Ford parts on my Ford simply because they fit and work really well. But....this weekend I am installing a 80 amp GM one wire alternator, simply because it fits and works better than the obsolete Ford alternator and regulator I will remove. I like Michelin tires and Monroe shocks and Eaton springs. All of these companies make GM and Ford parts. Do you have an after market steering wheel, seats, wheels, wipers? How about your sound system, is it all Ford? Broaden your horizons man! It is a big wonderful and diverse world out there, much of it driven by GM.

fair enuff, white lightning.the only problem is, they can't joke about chevy over ford because the concept is ludacris! any how, i seen a sticker on a '37 ford coupe "it's a ford, but listen for the heartbeat!" when he went to start it, he threw a rod... hmmm... an omen perhaps?
