Had a K30 1 Ton '62 suburban I never should have sold, Paxton blown 327, 8 speed manual trans, I added 4 wheel disc brakes and AC to it.
Never gave me a problem and in the 8 years I owned it, put 680,000 miles on it, sure, I rebuilt that 327 every 150K or so, and a new clutch every motor rebuild, but that thing was a tank and comfortable to ride in.
Never owned an Expedition, but the county Emergency Communications Expedition I drive all the time, that thing has had more repairs than I can count. My 89 Ford F150 4X4, with 170K on it has yet to have a wrench on it except for replacing the alternator a year ago. But the county's Expeditions always seem to be in the shop, even the ones not driven hard.
