Re: GM Semis

I was half joking, but the Dayton vs Budds debate is a lot like Chevy vs Ford. It is also mainly an East Coast - West Coast thing. Most trucks, from the old days anyway, on the West Coast had Budds where most on the East Coast had Daytons.

There are guys out there that hate Daytons, as you have stated, and love Budds and there are guys that hate Budds and love Daytons. I see most of this debate with the older Road Tractor guys more than anything.

I don't hate Budds, lol, but prefer Daytons.
