The Fords would be an E350 or E450 chassis possibly with a 5.4-Liter V8, but much more likely with a 6.8L V10 engine. The Chevy is likely to be a 3500 (about like E350), maybe the newer 4500 series (equivalent to E450) but the only engine offered would be the 6.0L V8. That engine will outdo the Ford 5.4 and come close to the V10.
The Chevy handles better than a stock Ford and has a much more user-friendly cab. Now, if the Chevy is old enough to have a 5.7L V8... that engine is not in the same league as all the others I've mentioned. I wouldn't suggest that one for anything but a smallish B+.
