A tuna sandwich and a lobster dinner both feed you, but one is certainly better than the other.

Probably dont want my 2 cents worth but. I like Fords, Chevy and Mopar's. Not nessarly in that order. All 3 car companys came out with some awsome looking vehicles in the day. But all the same the 3 major car companys also had thier POS. Ford Pinto, Chevy Chevette, And the Famouse pacer. So my awnser would depend at what I am looking at.

Well, of course I voted for the Ford. I have had several Ford pickups and one or two Chevy pickups. One Chevy I had was a really nice 1970 C10 and it was a sweet ride. I still remain partial to Fords and I think Fords from the early 50s were really better in both form and function than Chevy trucks of the same era. What I would REALLY like to have is an Austin of England A40 pickup, of about 1948 - 1955. That is not your everyday sighting. Drop me a line if you know of one that is available. It would not be everyone's cup of tea.

I was raised this way and it goes all the way through to the marrow. I've taken so much sheet about it over the years from GM idiots that I've developed a strong hatred for anything with a bowtie on the hood. That would be why I hang out on a FORD website. I don't want to come here and hear squat about Chevrolet. There are other places on the 'net for the guys on the GM bandwagon to associate. Don't try to force it on us here or expect us to be tolerant of it for your sake. We don't and shouldn't have to be.

Finally someone that thinks like I do.



I've even thought about buying a gm product to drop in a Ford drivetrain just to mess with the bowtie boys. "Built like a rock, with a Ford block"! But I don't like anything gm built and it would just be a waste of a good drivetrain.

I like them both. Although I have a 56 Ford I also had a 58 Chevy which I like. But still I learned how to drive in a 54....Well they are both RED and you can't beat that.
