Yea, I meant for the re-tooling of the plant that lost the trucks, if they can do that. He did mention the line they were keeping but I can't remember which one. I imagine the Chevy would make the cut over the GMC.

Also note that Ford did not take any bailout money. So far they are the best positioned to make a great comeback.

It would have to be Chevy rather than GMC.

Yeah, retooling the plants (the ones that don't close) from trucks to marketable vehicles will be very expensive, but it's necessary and will pay for itself if they are sucessful... big if.

Ford has been through a number lean times, with subsequent management changes, in the recent past and looks like they now have people running the show that know something about cars and the market.
