I echo the Ford because they are so common, and do not get a girlie transmission! Any type of autermatick, in a larger truck, will require maintenance. Manuals do not unless some dope ran it out of oil. The older, the simpler. If you can't do your own maintenance, then stay away from older, shops will kill you are give the old stuff to the 16 year old part time tire buster, floor sweeper. Stay away from the Ford Mazda 5 spds in the half tons of the late 80s thru 96. Not a good unit. The old 4 speeds are bullet proof as the German 5 speeds in the 90s Fords 3/4 and up. I live in MN and travel south to get an old truck, Oklahoma Kansas any where where the farm truck would live and not see salt. Watch out for Colorado/Arizona/Florida trucks etc as most of them will have emigrated over the years with their owners from the NE or midwest parts of the country. My last truck, 96 f250 460 5spd absolutely rust free, but with the dents and nicks from years as a farm truck. Found on Craig's List in Pueblo CO, true desert country. I paid 1,200 for it with 74,000 miles on it a year ago. It'll outlive me. My 2 bits. I'm to much of an old gearhead to enjoy the new stuff, it's great but you can't "screw" with them. Larry

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
