A fellow stopped by to visit my farm tonight, showing off his great big new to him Chevy truck. He made a few disparaging remarks about my F-250. When he turned around to leave, he backed down a slight grassy bank and try as he may, all she'd do is spin. He was just about 200 feet from the barn. I asked him to hold his horses while I get my tractor. When he saw my old rust bucket 8n, he laughed. When we hooked up the chain, he said it will never work. When I pulled his truck up the bank back onto the road, I simply told him that a 55 yr old ford can still pull a chevy.

Amen Brother ! And I bet the S.A. didn't have much to say after pulling him out with that 'ol Ford, did he? I grew up with Ford's, and then my 'ol man became a Chevy man....loves to dump on me at every chance for still driving Ford's. But the really humerous part is he's had more troubles with his Chevy (cheapy) cars than ANY of my Fords. When he starts spouting about his bowtie's, I casually bring up his visits to the shop or what a nice wrecker lift he put on his Lumina/3/4 ton truck, etc. !!!

Isn't it amazing how a Ford vs. Chevy discussion can make normally sane men become crazy with "mine's _____ __ (bigger, better, faster, etc. you fill it in !)than your _____ __ (Ford, Chevy (aka rusties), or Dredges (oops, I mean Dodges)"

I know I've strayed, and I apologize, but this is classic !!!!!

8N's have pulled a lot of Chevy's (and Fords, and Dodges, etc, etc.) Proves nothing though. I had a 1/2 ton Chevy which pulled a 3/4 ton 4x4 Ford along with 5th wheel out of mud. My truck had locking rear differential, his did not. Main differences usually lie in whether the truck has locking differential, weight of truck, and tire type. I have found out the hard way that a truck with a locking differential will fair MUCH better than one without. Read that more wheels pulling. Almost certainly a Chevy with locking diff will do better than any other brand without (providing tires and weight are equal). On the other hand a Ford with the locker will fair better than a Chevy, Dodge etc without. Lets face it the Brand on the front does not scare the mud into submission. My 2 cents worth.

Forgot to mention and most do not realize that locking differentials (known by several "trade" names such as posi-traction, limited slip, etc) is an option, and not on most trucks. I notice more of the newer trucks have this though.

It's funny how my '76 Chevy K20 (with a '88 Ford box) has the same Dana 44, New Process top loader 4 spd and NP 205 transfer case as my buddy's '75 F250.

My 1/2 ton Chibby trucks have all weighed more than my 1/2 ton Fords.
