[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 220764, member: 587"] My father had a '75 Chevy after he had a '77 Ford. I've owned a'60 Ford, '67 Chevy, '75 Ford, '90 Ford, among others. The above were full-size pickups. The best truck I I've ever owned is my 1994 Ranger 3.0 V6, currently with 226,000 miles. I had a clutch put in around 160,000. I work it hard on a regular basis. The oil still looks clean on the dipstick at over 3,000 miles on the change. I try to keep it changed by 4,000. The old trucks had heavier metal, but less corrosion protection. The newer trucks are tighter, quieter, ride better, and get better fuel milaege. I certainly agree that the modern fuel injected motor is far superior, especially on cold winter start-ups. The '90 model I owned is still towing a trailer with over 200,000 miles on its fuel injected 460. Every one of the square body style Chevys from '74-87 that I've ever been in had doors that were hard to shut, and it wasn't because they were so windtight either. Dad's '75 also had to have a cam job on its 454 at well under 100,000 miles. The '77 Ford 400 had a new motor at 107,000. These trucks did tow a lot. [/QUOTE]
