What made you guys pick chevy trucks

[WIDESIDE72]

My dad was a pipeline/ "rig" welder. Back in the late 70's he bought a 73 Ford f350 with a 390/ spd. When the 390 wore out, he bought a 428 from PAW. It ran like a scladed dogbut had such high compression he had to run an edelbrock water injection. The truck rusted out so he biught an 80 f350 with a 400m, and auto trans thinking he could swap the 428 if he wasnt happy with the 400m. Wrong. No interchangeability with ford like chevy. That pretty much made up my mind on ford vs chevy. Not to say i wouldnt own other makes, its just easier with chevy. I have had a Ford escort and two tempos, and now a lincoln mks ecoboost as well as a dodge ramcharger. Throw in a 76 toyota celica gt(wish i had kept it) an 89 corolla, 91 acura integra, 97 chevy silverado c1500, 93 gmc k2500 06 cobalt ss, 09 hhr ss 02 silverado 2500hd crew cab 4x4 duramax with 215k, and now an 01 silverado 2500hd reg cab 2wd duramax. 281k mikes and still going strong. I still have a 72 c10swb step, 79 malibu, 91 olds custom cruiser wagon, 55 chevy 1st series 5 window and 55 2nd series big window.
