Not to be a Debbie downer, I like old trucks and tractors as much as anyone. Still own both of em. But them old trucks wasn’t baby chit compared to these new trucks. Mechanic shops stayed just as busy in them old days as they do now. Best thing ever came out was EFI, and 4 wheels disk brakes. Look at the HP and stopping power these new trucks got. I pull 20,000 often behind a ‘20 Ram 3500 6.7 Cummings. Move a JD 650H dozer with it. No way a 1989 1 ton would do it with the ease as that ram does. And any other new model 1 ton will do the same thing. Them old trucks wasn’t work to drive too, wasn’t near as comfortable either. But I’ll probably always have some kind of old truck and tractor floating around. I’ll always prefer the newer stuff to make money with though. 😁
