Re: GMC V-12 powered '91 Chev crewcab
Twin I beam front end, right? I'd pass. Ford didn't get it figured out until the early '80s when they went to welded assemblies with balljoints instead of forged axles & kingpins. And I still don't think the newer ones even come close to as good a design as the GM traditional independent setup. Those old Fords won't hold the road, or an alignment. A Ford pickup from that era with radials & a good alignment drives worse than the same years of Chevy with bias ply on a worn out front end. As bad as they were with ONE six pop in them, I can't imagine what it would be like with the weight of two! I like the looks of the 67-72 F series, but I hate driving them.
