I know this is a ford forum but...
Ive been kicking around the idea of offing my 97 F250 for the fact that i dont have my camper anymore, and i dont really tow anything super heavy or super far (Maybe 6-7k locally, distance is usually just 2 quads on my 2500lb trailer).
I was kicking around the idea of buying another late 80's to mid 90' ford 1/2ton (thinking i can sell mine, but another for 5k or so and pocket a grand or 2) and i kinda want 4wd. Then when the market cools off buying a aluminum ford.
I see ALOT of nice (as in not rusted to hell) 88-98 Chevys that fit what im looking for. They seem to not rot as bad as the fords. Im not a fan of the IFS front ends but i can deal with it i suppose. Wean me off I beams gently,
Kinda like the TBI era ones more. Mainly the interior
Ive had experence with the square bodies...but not the later trucks. Im thinking a 350 regular cab 4wd would suit me fine...but whats the reliabilty like on these trucks?
