Lots of chebbys rotted out at the rear wheel houses. No rust on mine (PLASTIC BED).

I have hauled a lot of sand in that truck with no issues.

Yea, everytime I see a Ford it's being used like a truck, the Chebbys I see are suburbia guys who use 'em to go to Lowe's & pick up a few 2 x 4s. I can't count how many old farmtrucks Ive seen that are Fords, but almost never a Chebby. Same goes for all the machine shops and industrial parks I've worked in: Ford trucks when they have to haul heavy material. With Chebbys weak frames they simply will not hold up to the relentless abuse.

Well said; you'd have to know are the variables (how the trucks are used) and how the Ford was used vs. the Chebby. although my sample size is not huge, everytime I see a construction site it's almost always Fords. A truck used in that application will certainly live a harder life then a suburbia truck.
