I have an old Plymouth Trail Duster I'll gladly trade for a perfect (or even less than perfect) Power Wagon. Seriously, our old Plymouth is mucho rusty (which aided cutting out tin to accomodate 44s), but very capable as far as top truck abuse. The key here is we have most repair parts and can find anything we need easily and cheaply; a nice clean flatfender hood is worth more than our Trail Duster (it does have a nasty 440 and lockered front 60 that are worth some clink). Bottom line... you'd have to be ignorant to abuse a ff.
The real tough truck competition has already been decided. It was proven on ranches from Idaho to Nebraska when ranchers had good reason to commit unspeakable abuse to work trucks and expect their trucks to stay under them year after year. If you have hungry or thirsty cows, you'll rape your truck however you must to feed and water them. I hope no FF owner goes for the tough truck bait. The FF is still capable, as is my Dad who is in his 70s, but they've both earned an easier lifestyle.
