OK, lets stop debating social and apocalyptic scenarios. That is definitely a lounge question.

This was the original question....

I am kinda curious as to what Ford F series would be the best to have for the long run in keeping them going with least amount of effort. I know the old 300 six was real good. Are the IDI's as good long term compared to like the old gas 302 351 300's for long term parts?

How do the newer gas modular engines compare with the older IDI, and gas units for long term operation?

If we went into a situation where fuel is real scarce are the IDI's better to have over a gasser?

Thanks for any input on what you think the future holds for keeping old trucks going.

I think the best interpretation of this question is, if you want to keep your vehicle for as long as possible, what technologies are the easiest to support? Age destroys wiring, rubber, and electronics.

This is all on the same subject and we can learn together at the same time, these are real scenarios that are linked to the original ? Do not get me wrong your site is a great service to all who want to own and drive diesel trucks but if the subject of a thread goes off a little I think you should let the poster have a little leeway.

Thanks for keeping it on track.

I don't really think people are that stupid to think if suddenly the electronic virtual money went away, that all would come to an end. If everyone went about their day the same, all would still work. All that would happen is they would give up all their wealth, which is the last thing they want to do.

They are that stupid and that is the problem, most people do not realize they are being managed as a # on a spread sheet as our rulers build their one world socialist dictatorship in an effort to manage us the herd.

They will panic big time, I have been testing the waters for some time and most people do not care to educate themselves about how the world really works so the rest of us are stuck in the vise.

This all pertains to what will be available and what transportation methods will be viable if civilization breaks down which it will more than likely over this century.

A bicycle is mandatory, I just went down and saw my family over XMas to see if they were waking up to the seriousness of the mess we are handing future generations of planet earth and all they are interested in is maintaining their castles and portfolios. A huge die off is coming this century because of to many sheep who believe all is well in whoville and not taking interest in how to stop the destruction of the planets ECO system.

Just making a reply to his comment.
