@@austinpricer8207 For me, it started with lawn mower engines, then I was taught how to rebuild carburetors. From that to axle work (bearings, brakes, etc.). Finally, to rebuilding an entire engine. With that said, don't ask me about fuel injection. Once that came into play, I knew zero, zip, nada. A mechanic told me that it is the same as an old engine, only the "overhead" is different. Scheduling high end cars, I have learned a lot about sensors. Sometimes, when I get questions about the inside panel I fake it. Scheduling those kind of cars has taught me never to own one of those kind of cars because it is actually about being part of a lifestyle (if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it).

Me too! A classic. In the early 70s first learned to drive a '64 Chevy 3/4 ton with a 283 V8 and granny 4-speed. It was used on a South Texas cattle ranch and could easily haul a fully loaded gooseneck cattle trailer. Later, the rancher (my Dad's best friend) traded it in on a late 80s Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton with a 454 V-8 automatic. The rancher complained bitterly that although the newer Chevy was more comfortable and had more amenities it didn't tow nearly as well as that old barebones '64 did with that mouse motor.

Transmission on newer trucks fail at 200k miles, electronics send check engine light with more than one code, ABS fails, can't take out seats on newer trucks or airbag light comes on and expensive bro reset, 4wd electric sensor fails because dolts are too lazy or incompetent to get out & lock the hubs. Newer trucks bumper rots out,,,never see one rot clear through on old ones, even junkyard 51's rust but don't rot. That's just for starters. Rather have a truck when trucks were trucks meant to GitterDunn!!!

They started building junk, long before that. Though, even the junk was better, before they started putting computers in everything. Now, instead of cars with computers, we've got wheeled computers, encased in cheap plastic. I don't think I've seen a real truck, of any size, manufactured in over 2 decades.

@@donculp9563 There are many models, made in that time frame, that I would much rather own, than anything produced afterwards. They were still making comfortable interiors, during that time. Cars had real headlights, that could be changed easily. Batteries were easily accessible. You didn't have steering wheels with 40 unneccessary buttons, and airbags weren't required. Mainly, though, most models were easily and inexpensively maintained. You didn't have to kidnap a computer hacker to keep your wheels turning. My preference is vehicles made from mid-50's to early 70's, but I can deal with 80's era vehicles.

Proper maintenance and you can keep vehicle running great for a long time .

I'm pretty sure GM still sells more trucks than Ford. It's always been a matter of semantics. Because GM divides it truck sales between two divisions, Chevy and GMC, Ford claims the number one spot in sales. But if you add both of the GM divisions together, they outsell Ford. See how that works?
