Not a Chevy (or GM...) fan at all, but most of the farmers around here use Chevy's so I work on a ton more of them than fords.........sigh.....

I've only owned 2 GM products. A 1958 Chevy Impala 2 door hard top with a 409, and a 1966 GTO with a YS 400. Both I regret selling and would love to have another...

 

My first car was a Pontiac and have always driven a GM product. Only had one Ford before these 56's , it was a 75 Ranchero and one of the most troublesome vehicle I owned, loved the looks of it though and wish I had it now. My dad always cursed Fords so that might have some bearing on my decisions , I'm hoping this 351 w is going to be a good choice for this pickup I'm doing..

 

Use to own gm. Work on a bunch of them.

 

I own a 68 chevy step side, and a 46 chevy pick up
I have also a number of other gm cars.
1 is a 1965 Pontiac Tempest convertible
cars collect me.

 

I have knowledge of GM products.................I don't dislike them, but I prefer Ford strongly.
GM.................Better than Dodge or Yota.

 

We currently have a big Chevy with a horse box on the back. Fits 6 horses. Had a 65 Ford C Series Cabover for quite a while.

I started out "life" with a 1957 Pontiac Starchief. Was not much of a girl magnet in High School when I had to compete with Chargers, Mustangs, Goats and SuperBee's. Forks had a Ford Ranch Wagon. Dad sold it on me when I was in the Navy. Said it was taking up too much room in the Machine Shed.

I picked up a 69 Red with black hood Mach 1 Mustang in Hawaii and a 350 Honda in Japan. After I was back home, my 69 Mach 1 had a close encounter of the unwanted kind with a deer.

The Mach 1 was replaced with a new 77 Firebird Formula. Never had many problems with that GM after I got rid of the OEM Firestone tires that came on it. Had to replace the water pump and I cussed the spark plug on the Pax side back by the firewall every time I had to change it. Pretty much flawless and I got to "race" it number of times as the "squirrel" in Police Pursuit Course Training on the closed track. It would leave the Pontiac LeMans Police Package in the dust. Did have some hinge problems with the big doors on it. When the HS kids ran into the back of my wife, the 'bird gave its life protecting her.
So, we got a brand new 1986 Pontiac Grand Am Special Edition Custom Order. (Kids were kind of causing problems with the pure sports car thing) Only had 2 problems with it. At 36K miles the Cam Shaft Sensor went out and left my wife stranded on I5 at MP 126. (No cell phone days - only Doctors and Lawyers carried those BC 611 type bricks) And then we kept having a chronic dead battery which was traced to a bad switch that left the trunk light on all the time.

The 3rd child came along so we then we somehow ended up in a "the price is right" full sized Chevrolet Conversion Van. Had a 305 and was grossly under powered as far as I was concerned, but it was dual purpose, big enough for the family, not bad on gas mileage and could be a lot of fun in the mountains or the beach when the kids were left behind.
As much as I hate to admit it (I think), with the exception of the Mach 1 and a 97 Merc Sable (and the MIL's Mazda Protégé we have now inherited) all of our cars GM's. Pontiac (2) Chev (1) and Buicks (3) and 1 Cadillac Fleetwood (never again). Luck of the draw and what we could afford more than anything.

I was trying really hard to get into a Ford car when I bought the Buick Lucerne 3 years ago. I was actually on the lot sitting in the Ford, engine started and going on a test drive when another salesman came running out saying he had just taken a credit card down payment over the phone on an internet sale so I couldn't have it. My salesman thought it was funny when I said "Possession is nine tenths of the law". The other salesman - not so much.

Pickups are a different story.....Never had anything but Fords. Folks had an International when I was a young kid, but they also had their Ford Pickup too.

 

Forgot to mention that I've had two boats with Chevy motors, 305 and currently a now "blown" 350.....does that count?

 

He said chevy truck, or suv
You can list ALL yer toys tho.......

 

GASP!!!!
Ken's gonna use us to start up anudder one!!!!

 

I could go with it. I have passed my gm days, but work on them all the time. Not a hater. Just like my Ford's.

 

I really know nothing about Chev trucks and outside the boat motors, don't work much on the Chevy's. The horse truck hasn't been much more than change the plugs, wires, oil and filters and, of course keep the 454 fed for quite some time now.

 

Other than being more "car-like" than truck, I have nothing against Chevy trucks, the plant gets good use out of their 1/2 ton Chevy's, the heavy stuff though is done by Fords.
