Not to hijack a post, but I get a real "kick" out of all the Ford/GM bantering I've seen over the years. However, a guy who wouldn't use a FoMoCo 9" diff in his hot rod because of it's logo, or a SBC in his 32 5 window Ford because of it's logo, is missing out on the true spirit of our hobby.
Granted, I like to see Chevy's powered by GM's and Ford's by Fords, but there are a miriad of reasons to use what works...and works well. Same goes for our old "Stovebolt" trucks. Tucking in a SBC in one of our "period" trucks is a whole lot easier (and cheaper) than resurrecting a 50 year old heavyweight hunk of low tech iron. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon nor am I throwing stones at those that do.
The point I'm trying to make is, that if you are so insecure in your own skin that you can't look beyond the label, you might be short-changing yourself. We all have our favorites, and our opinions, but to banter and fuss over what logo a product wears, is too me, a bit foolish.
The key is to make our machines better, safer, and more user friendly, and if I have to "cross the lines" to get the job done....so be it! If this bothers someone....it's their problem, not mine!!
BTW...I love my Buick, my 54 Chevy truck, 64 Ford hot rod truck, my 2 other Ford trucks, my 2 Jeeps as well as my 2 Kubota tractors all equally!!!! I'm proud of them all!!!
