What made you guys pick chevy trucks

[WIDESIDE72]

My dad bought new 72dark green with white top custom deluxe 10 lwb fleetside with a 307/ auto ps pb no ac. Traded it for a 73 or 74 black/ red interior cheyenne 10 with a 454 in 76 or 77. It ran like hell but drank gas like it was going out of style. My uncle bought new a black/ black 72 cheyenne 10 lwb fleet 400/400 ps pb ac tilt wheel bedside tool box. My brother now owns it and restored it. He added a tach during resto that i found for $50 (!) the same brother had a 72 c10 swb step black with white top 250 6 cyl/ 3ott back in the late 80's. We swapped it for a mild 300 hp (or so) 350/ 2004r. With the stock 3.73 posi we would smoke monte ss and 5.0 irocs. It would give 5.0 mustangs and 5.7 irocs a run for their money.
