I was always a chevy guy. Everything I had was a 350 small block. S10, 1/2 ton, streetrod, lobster boat, 1 ton rack. I like all brands depending on years and set ups. I really liked the 225's. My dad had a 68 1 ton with a dump. It had a 225 with a 4 speed and all stories aside, he would stack 4 foot long firewood 2 rows deep and well over 6 feet high. He would go across the paper co scales with over 10 ton on the back. Over 3.5 cords. The truck was in 1st gear on every hill but it made it. I also worked for a parts store and 1 of their trucks was a mid 80's with a 225 and a 904 auto. What a great little truck that was. Fun to drive with the super easy power steering. I wish I could have found a 225 equiped Dart for a high school rig but up here they were all rotted by then.
