I'm a "Ford guy" I guess, though I'm not really brand loyal. Currently we have (classic truck speaking) a '49 GMC Chassis (for sale I guess), a '49 GMC, a '52 Chevy 5 window, a '76 F150, and my '82 F100. I've also owned a '78 Chevy K10.
I fully agree with what was said above. You can order everything but the VIN from LMC and build a C10 from literally nothing if you want. The Ford's aren't hard to work on by any means but the Chevy's have a stupid large aftermarket.
I definitely see more classic Chevy trucks than Ford. That's for sure.
I too prefer the road less traveled. It definitely comes with it's speed bumps though.
