I was. Ford Guy a very long time ago also Rebuilt that truck and it was painful and $$$$. Two years later I bought my first square body and never looked back. Parts are cheap and all over the place. I just got a 3+3 about a year ago for the same reason you did. People in the front dogs in the back. Love this truck. You found a great truck. One thing I've always done is replaced the door latch pin with ones which has plastic on the pin. No more slamming the door to close. Other square body owners are amazed by how easy they close now.
@zmurray94993 жыл бұрын
I have never really cared about brands as long as it sparks my interest. I have always thought classic crew cabs are really cool. Chevrolet didn’t try to reinvent the wheel and part interchangeability is better (a lot better than ford). Throw a video up of your 3+3. Thanks
