Drive a ford in the street and chev in the mud........But the ford tows the chev around

Enough said !

You know statistics don't mean as much as they use too... you (well paid companies) compare (ford,chevy,dodge,toyota) all day long and it means nothing.  One does this better, one does that better.  There is a statistic for each manufacturer that will be #1 whether it is HP, torque, towing capacity, head room, price, leg room, longest warranty, yada yada... these list go on and on.  Screw those stats give me a all around GOOD QUALITY truck (whether yours has more HP,tourqe,towing capasity) I don't care just give me what I pay for!!! Quality!!! And I will abide by the specs for towing and such.  Just my 2 cents.

Just get you a truck like that black one in BD's sig. & you'll be all set  !

Bigdaddy, how's ol' blue doin ?, you got the temp. under control ? will I see you at the new MotoPlex w/it ? I'm goin the 24th.

[big-daddy]

Blue temp is under control with the alum radiator and dual fans. Temp is about 180' all the time now, but still looking for a dana 60 front.

the Motoplex is to far for me to haul blue up there, but I have a Jeep swamp buggy in the works. So far I'm working on the rolling chassic. dana 30 front, amc 20 rear, T904 auto trans with a dana 300, powered by a 258 inline 6. In a few weeks I'll start to weld the frame.   ohhh....... its going to have full power brakes.

I wish I had the space to work on stuff like that, I always say one day I'm gonna have me a big pole barn or somethin to work under.

180 is pretty cool, couldn't get any better than that !

I hear ya on the long drive, it's 3 1/2 hr. from Tampa.

Are you gettin any use out of that little pop-up ? I'm fixin to put another one on that trailer thats just a little smaller & lighter, but I gotta figure out how I'm gonna put it up there, I need a fork-lift or a big tree to hoist it.

Tell little Ricky I said Hi.

Hey Ricky, When I get back from MI in two weeks, I may be going to Arizona for a few weeks worth of work. If I do I`ll give you a shout, and maybe work on that rear end that you have out there, possibly get it home for ya

[big-daddy]

Thanks Don; Its a dana 60 FRONT with kingpins and the gearing has to be 3.54 or higher, if not I have to change the carrier.

Thanks Again

does it have to be for a chevy or could it be for a ford? (I know the difference) just making sure if it was going in a chevy or a buggy.  I know where a ford is and a chevy BUT this guy knows what he has and won't get off the chevy dana 60 for cheap, I have tried

chevy parts are cheaper thats the only way you'd get me into one is if it was offroad
