I laughed when you mentioned the PS pump.

Ford is STILL putting those shitty units on their vehicles, to my knowledge...

They have had trouble with them for decades. Those PS pumps are probably what makes the company profitable.

I found a picture of the old Chevy. I called it a "NAPA", because in reality, it had far more NAPA parts on it than Chevy parts, but you hit it about right...it was just a comfortable vehicle to drive....very "right sized" and perfectly "boxy" for snow plowing.



What a beater, lol This is the vehicle my wife made me buy in the middle of a snowstorm. The guy "upped the price" several hundred bucks from his newspaper ad, because of the storm. (Not the toy storm pictured)

I still have my 86 truck.. although it only is used at the hunting shack for wood detail and beating through the wood.. still runs decent.. but not much left to the box.. the cab.. hell the truck is quickly becoming a frame with pieces of sheet metal hanging on it.. but it still hauls to wood.. and sits in the sticks waiting for someone to use it.. after I am back up on my feet.. I think I need to make a run with the beast.. lol... a logging road we shall go.

That is not a paint job, that's bondo, lol--'86 also, I seem to recall

This is Ford country, btw. I made the mistake of dissin' one of my neighbor's Fords (PS pump making noise, imagine that, lol)

He felt I wasn't properly "committed" to the product, and was in more than a bit of a huff about it.

I just did a "head count" of my neighborhood, and while EVERY SINGLE male neighbor I can think of has a Ford pick-up truck, I am the ONLY one that isn't "mentally married" to the damn things. I have a sneaking suspicion that if I didn't actually own one, I would have been firebombed long ago, lol lol lol

I can just hear those guys now---"Notice how Dave has his Ford in that snowbank...He does that shit on purpose just to say "fuck you" to us"

They REALLY think like that...I better get diggin' lol

My dislike of Ford's was developed during childhood through high school... we lived on a farm and being the oldest I got the 'pleasure' of doing the grunt share of the farm work.. cool thing is I was driving tractors, farm equipment and such early on.. including the trucks my father supplied for the farm work.

He is a die hard Ford man.. and honestly a cheap skate when it came to buying a farm truck... as he put it.. "why buy something nice when it will live in the shit." Still uses that saying today..

Anyway.. we always got someones throw away pickup.. that would be rusted through and constantly needed work in the shed.. hence where I learned to fix the damn things.. as he put it builds character..

Fine.. I understand the shit part.. I understand the money part, I understand the character building part.. but when I am laying in shit, trying to fix the piece of shit.. I don't need to repeat the process time and time again.. yet those fucking Fords always seemed to break down in the pasture, or in the muddy field...

Hence why I dislike the brand.. call it character trait built. lol.
