I owned a '95 Chevy 1/2 ton with the Vortec 350 and under 100,000 miles on it. It had good power but gave me many headaches and a much lighter wallet. In a matter of months I pulled both heads for a valve job and head gaskets, put in new half shafts up front due to worn CV joints, rear axle bearings, clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and pilot bearing, u-joints, and numerous other little things. Needless to say, I couldn't afford to keep it and went back to Ford. I've had my Bronco ever since and all I've done to it was by choice, not because it broke. I lost 2 grand on the deal besides the money I dumped in it and if that's not a reason to be a little jaded, I don't know what is.

And 351, no need to keep the kid gloves on. I have no problem arguing the Chevy/Ford thing. Keep it friendly and NOT personal and there's no problem with having a discussion like that. This is a Ford site after all.

If you want to make it more than friendly, send me a PM and you can tell me what you really think of me. :-)

sounds to me like that chevy was a lemon from the go and you hapened by the wrong place at the wrong time.
we all make mistakes sooner or later.

Well - purple chickens hu ? I think that would be a great topic? man just walked in the door, ???? what happened here? This is just a friendly thread ! if you are wanting to have a wizzing contest don't reply, We where just talking """""""""Not Arguing ! """"""""""

Now, sorry to leave you guys hang'in , Didn't know it would take off so fast. so , I just got a chance to buy a 1963 fairlane with a 288/( I think?) v8 ,? anybody know anything about this car, Its not a thunderbolt, on the back it has fins and the round light, and is real short. its one of those "in the barn stories" ?? looks good. has got factory air? and auto, all stock no little PUNKs have gotten ahold of it.What do you guys think ? I assumed since it isn't a "Bolt" its not really worth having?

AND: to reply : I have had many that we're just dogs! from the get go. I chalk it up to inexperience,in buying, building, and maintenance. I know better now, I crawl under them ,ask the right questions, check things out ( not to say I still don't run in to them :) . My personal fav-dogs, are My buddys STANG, brotherin-laws VW? :) , brotherin-laws 75 chevy, father in-laws 1/2 ton GMC, dads 79 Bronc' , my 51 buick ,theres more but it will just go on & on. What I'd like 2 have is a 1936- Vicky. or may be a 52 ford pick-up, may be a MERc 49-51 , love to run across a 1947 hudson pick-up :) " just haven't run across one ,around here"

'89F150' and i'll try to find some pictures of her, for you. just remember she works for a living!

OK "89F150" here you go, ( Drum roll please) She may-not be as bad as I make her out 2 be? but she is for driving and work, not show. I'm thinking about lowering her ( Well,,! giving her a lower stance) and just retiring her from work completely. I'm still not sure what i'm going to do with her yet. these are from last july, i just started the body work then . Not much has changed really.

here is another,

"351w" It's the one farthest away.....! Haa ha :D :D .....but the tractor is a ford! :)

old 67 worker' · 10-28-2003, 09:16

'LunaticSVT" thats cool ! where at, on here?

'92BIGBRONCO,
I don't know much about Chevy's, but I do nothing but spend money on my Ford one way or another. But that's OK, it seems worthwhile because it IS a FORD.

'92BigBronco · 10-28-2003, 15:23

LOL, We all have our favorites. I love my Fords and wouldn't have it any other way. I respect Dodge and Chevy both as they make good products for the most part. The Chevy comment was a joke, but apparently it's wrong to make Chevy jokes on a Ford forum...go figure.

If there's any kind of car out there that I really can't stand, it's the rice. When will they learn that a fart can exhaust, an oversized spoiler, clear tail lights, and a few hundred pounds of accessories don't make the car fast?

To each his own I guess. :-)
