    Heh-heh, never thought of it as sexy, but I do love the old thing. It's a '77.


    Clouder..




    I was going to say '78. Then I remembered that Ford moved the signal lights to under the headlights in '78, and went to square headlights in '79.

    Had a '77 Ford myself, with a 351M in it. That thing would run like a spotted ape. Til I rolled it a few times.[B)]

    Thanks, I always liked the looks of the fords but the GM's always seemed to pull better. Don

    I bet I could have made you piss your pants in that Miata.

    Yes. First On Race Day. First to the mechanic. First to be towed truck. First to the junk yard. Why? Found On Road Dead.

    Seriously, Ford builds good trucks, but their cars are pure schit.

    Very true. The wife and I are thinking about a new F150. I really like them and they are TOUGH.

    I've owned 3 Ford trucks and 4 Chevy trucks (not including cars) and have nothing bad to say about neither.

    The US military bought a bunch of F-250's, brand spankin new here.

    What I like is that they flash the average MPG's on the odometer display.

    We are getting 7.7mpg on a 2007 Ford.

    No thanks....I'll keep my '88 Chevy. It gets almost 3 times that and is rolling on 35's.

    the early 90's F150's were very reliable. As long as you took care of the body, they'll last over 200k no problem.

    As far as new trucks.. I'd probably go Tundra for light duty, Cummins Ram for heavy duty (with the manual of course.. dodge's truck autos are a little iffy somemtimes)

    I have always been a GM person but when I needed a truck I bought a 2001 F 150 4x4 I has the 4.6 triton in it never a problem with it other than a coil pack it had 28,000 on it when i got it it has 123,000 onit now and still runs great

    I still like the Chevy's and GMC's but have always found that the transmissions that GM puts in their trucks are nothing but trouble sad but it is true

    So bottom line is if you drive all highway miles get a GM if you use it as a truck better buy a Ford

    I like my Ford. It takes me where I want to go, never fails me, doesn't complain, and is paid for.

    All mature trucks have ventilation, it's built in at the
    factory; and all old drivers let grandsons and nephews
    drive whenever they want to.

    I hope you're not implying my trusty old Ford is something
    less a truck for its rustic appearance, or that I had ulterior
    motives for relinquishing the wheel to a more, shall we
    say; alert driver.

    Trap is alert? Hmmm.... Donnie, enjoy your Ford. I enjoy mine and GHD enjoys both the ones he has too. His 250 has well over 240,000 miles I believe. I'm not sure how many miles he has on the 150.

    What year/model GMC did you trade in for the Ford??


    Have had my (own personal)'07 new model GMC Sierra 4x4 WT with the 4.8 V-8, and it kicks the crap out of the 2004 F-150 4x4 I drive at work occasionally. Not even close

    My bro' had an old FORD, a '65 or so. It ran and ran. It must have had a million miles on it. It just got older and older, uglier and uglier. He finally got rid of it and got a GMC. He had it a couple years and the Mexicans stole it. It's now in Mexico or scattered all over in parts and pieces. He now has a Dodge and the Mexicans don't seem to want it. Keep in mind Mexicans love "chebbies"!

    And there's a reason I should hide that from you? If you need to know where I live, just ask.
