once for GM, 3 times for Ford

I see more change than most people do I guess. To me there's as much difference between the old d-series and the 1st gen rams as a 7th and 9th Gen ford. Some similarity, cab and such, but far from the same truck. Fords had the same cab and basic shape for 17 years, 18 for HDs.

That said, even the 13 model years of the 1st gen rams is a fair length generation, and the fords changed their front clip and interior twice in that time and they had the wheel well contours very noticibly changed once. whereas dodge only had more minor changes. But a long generation of truck doesn't bother me one bit if I like the truck. I hope The new 13th generation f150 sticks around a long time, but you don't see that much anymore.

GMs squarebody trucks lasted 15 years plus some generation overlap with only a somewhat slight front clip revamp and partial interior changes. Or my personal favorite on the subject, Their full size vans remained almost unchanged for over a quarter century.

 

The thing that always jumped out at me with the last few years of those old Dodges were the exterior door handles. By then, pretty much the entire automotive world had moved on from push-button door handles, but the old Dodges still had them in exactly the same format as the early-70's era trucks.....

 

Ford kept them longer than dodge though...push button handles are one cool thing about jeep wranglers....you really don't see it much these days but those have them

No snow up there yet?

 

Small amounts have came and gone. It started early this year

 

 

 

Nice pics...looks like you're getting a little snow up that way!

 

There's a couple inches down in places but it'll rain tomorrow so that'll help kill it

Thanks!
