1974 Chevy Truck Comparison to Ford

Came across this interesting old video. Funny how truck comparisons are somewhat similar to todays marketing and with the max payload installed those trucks had a lot of squat.

Enjoy...

    Fun to see the old trucks. Seems a bit odd that they compared the Chevy to an F100 instead of F150. But I'm sold; the next time I buy a '74 pickup it will be Chevy. :D

    Chevy's worst advertising nowadays is out on the road, every time I pass a work truck or van with paint missing from the hood, I know it's a GM product. And I think, why would I trust a company that can't even get their steel properly prepped for paint?

    Those polyester leisure suits and hairstyles bring back the memories.


    Have to remember. That was before the days of the F150. the F100 Ranger was the 1/2 truck for Ford, as F150 came later. IN 1975 AND IT WAS ONLY sold in 4x2
  • Had a 1974 F250 'camper special'......1st/2nd best pickup I ever had.
    *toss up between it and 2000 F150 '7700'

    Worst pickup.....1978 D-100
