No matter what they do, i'll keep my 1965 Chevrolet Pickup.

Ever since 1967 they have built them for the non user croud, ie. camper clowns and not for work. Besides that I haven't worn it out yet, it's only got 890,000 miles on it.

I used to use a '64 3/4-ton Chevy to cut firewood. 283/turbo350, with posi-traction, free-foating rear axles, and overloads.

I regularly put 2 tons of wood on that truck and I couldn't count the number of times I snapped chains and steel cables dragging timber. It never even made a funny sound, unlike another manufacturer's truck , whose name I won't mention.

My Chevy workhorse. A 2000 S-10 ZR2 King Cab. It's pretty AND tough. Towing capacity of 5500 lbs, and it'll go anywhere I'm willing to take it. I LOVE this truck. It came down to this and a Toyota Tacoma when it came time for me to buy. The Chevy was $3K less, and had 1500 more lbs of towing capacity, which was important to me since I have several towable toys. (boat, jet ski's, etc.). Oh and another handy feature is this thing is fast as a thief! Plenty of power to pass! This is the third S-10 I have owned. The first was an '87 S-10 4x4 when I was in high school, the second was an S-10 Blazer in college and I had nothing but good experiences with them too (I did have to replace the transmission in the Blazer at 161K miles!). This is a solid truck that I plan on keeping for at least 7 yrs. It rides smooth, never given me the first problem with 32K miles now, and it just looks MEAN!
