Hey folks, heres a little question for ya. My dad is looking to get a 2 or 4WD diesel truck in about two months for his business. We're thinking about Fords or Chevs from the 80s since we dont want to spend more than 5K. Basically the truck will be used as a farm truck, driving two and from his plant nursery to retailers. Anyone familiar with engines in these vehicles? (For example, i have heared that the GM 6.2 is better than the 6.5, but i dont know any specifics.)I have no experience with Ford diesels, or really Ford vehicles in general as I have have up until now been a GM dude. Anyone know of any whidespread problems in particular models or years, or have any particular recommendations? Thanks in advance for all the help.
