When I worked for the US Forest Circus, we used the S10. Big piece of crap, didn’t make one season before it died. The regular cab 1/2 ton 4x4 with the six cylinder and 4 speed held up ok. Just really slow. The one ton dump truck we had, with the 350 v8 and 4 speed was a beast. You couldn’t kill it. And we tried 😎.

Friend of mine in Barton county had an 84. 305 with a 350C transmission. Got about 14.5 mpg with him driving (he drove harder than I do) between Golden City and Carthage. Gas was a buck a gallon. He did something stupid and traded it for a little Chrysler k car station wagon. Never did run right. Lost thousands in the trade. Gone a long time but not forgotten. I guess I liked the truck and didn't care much for the car. It's whatever, I guess.

I found the build sheet for my ‘80 F-150 tucked up in the wires under my bench seat when I was reupholstering it. Unfortunately the paper was fragile, crumbled, and blackened. I was able to piece it together like a jigsaw puzzle though. It’s always interesting seeing the factory option codes and knowing exactly how the truck was ordered.
@roninkraut68734 жыл бұрын
A Ford F-150 with internet access Didn’t the 80 have a different frame from the 81+ F-150s? If I remember right, Ford was experimenting with a light weight frame design but ditched it in 81.
@chumbawaumbacumpa4 жыл бұрын
@Ronin Kraut The lighter frames were used for the 80-81 model years, but Ford tweaked them for the 82 model year to be more stiff, due to complaints of frames developing a slight bend in one ton trucks while towing gooseneck trailers. The earlier frames have more circular holes cut out in the rails near the middle of the frame, later ones don’t. Before I put a lift and bigger tires on my truck I was getting 16 mpg highway, and with the 351M.
@roninkraut68734 жыл бұрын
A Ford F-150 with internet access That’s right. That’s pretty good mileage for the 351M. My parents had an 80 Bronco when I was born and it was the first vehicle I can remember. It started my long live affair with Ford and Broncos. Around that time the 351M had a bad rep due to the 70’s issues. When I was a teen looking for my first vehicle I can remember my dad saying to find one with the 351W. I ended up getting an 88 Bronco as my high school car. Ahh the memories

I liked the Chevrolet cab better than the Ford cab in at least the 80s. I remember sales literature about the 80s Ford's being "fully dressed" inside compared to the 70s trucks. But it was so cheap and chintzy. Vinyl over plastic with a little metal. About the same quality as the second generation Dodge interior and that's not saying much. Chevrolet cabs were definitely the Cadillac.

i didn't like the s-10 i had. it had the 2.5 liter self burning 4 cylinder which was bad designing on chevy's part if you are going to use cheap materials the intake manifold is not the place for it.the intake would crack on cylinders 2 and 3 and would let fuel pour on to the hot engine so it could flair up and take the the truck with it if you didn't get the fire put out fast.i liked the s-10's Japanese version the isuzu p'up and the ford ranger better.but chevy did well with the c/k series pickups and vans.i had a 87 p'up with a 2.3 liter gas a 82 p'up with a 2.2 liter diesel which was in the s-10 trucks and my 87 ford ranger with a 2.3 liter gas engine.i currently drive a ford f250 with a 7.3 liter diesel and have plans on buying a 84 c10 pickup with a inline 6.

Of all the embellishments in truck advertising the 1/2 ton at the construction site is the silliest to me. Why buy real construction site equipment then? It’s way more expensive than a pickup. Oh yeah, coz it’s built to move way more all day every day. Not to move your friend’s couch now and again. LoL When I think about the stuff I do on a daily basis then picture doing it with a civilian pickup truck. Barely a few guys even drive a truck to work. More of us drive a corolla to work then get onto actual big boy machines and get the job done.
