Umm pretty sure Chevrolet hasn’t offered manual hubs since 87 or 88. Pretty sure Ford had some form of auto hub available on 3/4 and 1 tons since 92. The new “manual” hubs on Fords are either in Auto or Lock, no free to leave you getting out in the mud. And though Dodge was the only one to never give up the solid front axle on their 4x4s I believe they had auto hubs by 94.
What kind of Tin Lizzy are you driving?
Huntsman, I’m no GM guy but I do know several guys around with late model gas GM feed wagons about like yours but regular cab. They have no real complaints. Less power than diesel but reliable as a claw hammer. Plus your’s is the best kind, the kind someone else pays for.
88 on GM half tons and I believe 3/4 tons and 91 or 92 on 1 tons since they kept the old body on the 1 tons and Suburbans.
Not sure why Ford got away from the free feature.
