O.K. - Too much dodge talk got to change it up some.
My favorite type is OLD TRUCKS (prefer gm but would buy a ford, international, studebaker, willys jeep truck,ect)
My 70 chevy truck has no emissions or computer junk, about 15 wires under the hood, levers not buttons, metal dash, metal door panels, and so on. To me that makes it a truck and even with the gas tank right behind the seat I stiil feel alot safer in it then these new tin cans their makin today.. When some thing breaks I know I can fix it or rig it and still drive it around, you don't have to worry about all them sensors and the other junk they put on todays trucks going bad.
Then the interchangabilty (hope thats a word and I spelled it right) of these trucks a another great thing about them. Mine can swap a lot of drivetrain / suspension parts from 1967 to 1991, and most auto parts stores keep the parts on stock, if not there is alot of aftermarket support for them.

I had a 1976 International Scout, with the removable pickup cab. That was a fun truck, and built like a tank. Too bad parts got so hard to find. I ended up selling it instead of fixing it.

my gramps had a '89 chevy 20 van, it had a limited-slip differential out of a dodge 1-ton, 470 v-8, and a 4-speed trans, he had to manually shift it going up hills or when towing. it was the best van ive ever driven

I currently use this locally!: 2015 RAM 1500 Big Horn/ 4x6 trailer. (all I have to use right now) I'd like to evenually get a 16 footer.
I use this when there is travel involved! 2015 RAM 1500 Big Horn/ 34' Forrest River Toy Hauler.
In the next couple years, hopefully I can get this involved in my tractor travels. Just needs a new Trans. I have to put fluid in it all the time. It has a TH350 trans in it right now. Thinking I would like a TH400. It's a 1978 C30 Silverado, that has a small block 350 engine/TH350 trans transplant from a '75 C20. It originally had a 454/th400 but it didn't have that when we got the truck for free.
It's a trailering eddition, so maybe one day it can pull the RV as well. It's rated pretty high. Rear diff is almost the size of a beach ball on this thing. Rear drums are huge too.

Favorite car I’m going with an 80s town car just because of the styling. I’d love to swap a 4bt in one some day or go redneck and put a 3 cylinder yanmar in one.

Favorite car id say Hyundai veloster or a Suzuki jimny or samurai even though iam 6'1 I've been really looking for a Suzuki but their pricing here is ridiculous.
Another Favorite car would be a Honda swapped mini But not really an option here since that isn't allowed here and you wouldn't pass inspection.
