Ford Or Chevy In Montana?

I've Been Married To A Chevy Guy

My late husband was a Chevy man.  It's ironic that the transmission on his Chevy was out when he died.  And the paint was chipping.  It was only about ten-fifteen years old, barely a teenager in pickup years.  Just sayin'.

I Was Raised By A Ford Guy

I grew up with a daddy who loved his Ford pickups.  (For the record, never once did a tranny go out or the paint chip, but I digress.)  I even learned to drive in a 1970 Ford.  My dad had that thing for 30 years.  What a rig that was.  PLUS, we had an old Ford pickup from the 50's on the farm my dad made into a sprayer.  It was super cool.
