i was working at ford during the 80s.81-84 were the worst years for trucks.many recalls and quality was an issue.i have horror stories about what came out of detroit.the old,"let the dealer take care of it"attitude from the workers.bolts installed but not tightened,plastic fasteners not installed,faulty clamps and the list goes on and on.the drivetrains were generally bulletproof especially the 300 six.serviced those engines with 4-500k miles and still running.302 was also a workhorse.electrical issues by the score.almost as many headaches as the gm and chrysler trucks from that era.
