Actually If I could and I hope to soon I would rebuild a 64 to 67 chevy truck ,Now there was a great truck ,with out all the sensors and all the other B/S that they seem to deem that we all want ,yet no one can figure out what to do with them when the go ! Give me the old points and carb and a 350 engine and I'll still do better then the new trucks do and it's made of real steel ,not this recycled metal that rusts away before your eyes

And he backs it up with another great post 8)

Ever see a Ford & Chevy go down the road always nose up ; Rear bumper dragging the ground unloaded you look some time ; might want a Toyota Tundra
(Stir The Pot oooooh yeeeeaaaaahh)
Test drove one a few months ago but the dealer wanted waaaaay too much for it so I told him to go pound salt. 5.7 iforce was very snappy on the highway I will say. Towing, not so sure about

How about a good old straight 6... 300 ford or 292 chevy. Those were great power plants.

Buddy of mine has One of those stuck, He tows a 30' camper all over the place. It's just not cut out to haul the weight of a 1 ton though.

I'm with you SOS Chevy all the way 5.3 vortec has done me well......I'm thinking about getting a 2500 series myself for towing the camper....I'm interested to hear how your test drive goes
woulda loved to tell ya about the test drive, too bad the sobs sold it yesterday! Go figure  ??? I was gonna go tomorrow after work to check it out. On to find the next one I guess. My cousin has one, an 06 silverado 2500 dmax very sharp looking truck with lots of torque. He was a little excited when he first got it and roasted the rear tires off within the first 2 months  ::)

I had a 300 with head work,4 barrel carb, headers and a Hi-perf cam in a Bronco in my youth. You couldn't stop that thing. Torque was unreal.

or a 3/4 ton even. I want the torque mostly. The cornfields can be absolutely brutal after a rain or snow melt. Don't need to be getting stuck with a Goose trailer on the back   :o

I have the 2500 hd silverado 6.0 L gas engine 2006. It is HORRIBLE in cornfields, sinks like a rock, while my other buddies in there micro machine yotas and beaters fly around. Besides that though my truck has done anything I ask it too.

that's a real good point AA. Never really thought of the extra weight sinking. Maybe ill buy a tank for goose huntin, bet them tracks wont get stuck hahaha seems like the iideal hunting rig even for deer. No trail through the woods? Throttle down and make one  8)
