I'm with you on the plain Jane trucks. Can't find them!
Most of those fancy trucks they sell never leave the pavement.

Most of the trucks sold today aren't designed to leave the pavement. They're luxury vehicles with open trunks!

Retro prices would be better, 5k$ for a 4wd back then

That's what I'm looking for!

And $4 per hour wage?

The retro trucks look sharp. I think it would probably look a touch better on a regular cab with with either a short or long bed, just like what was common once upon a time.

There you go! I like it!

Looks nice!!
I worked as a mechanic at a GMC dealership in the early 70s. We had pickups that came off the car carriers with bad paint and some had rust!!

I don't particularly like chevy, but I do like that.

Is that a 3/4 ton or what does "big ten" mean? Heavy duty half ton?

1/2 ton

Big 10 equals = heavy half ton .........or at least it did back in the day

MUCH BETTER!

I would rather walk than drive a ford

No government bail out for Ford! You'd think that would be right up your alley.

Ford benefited from the GM bailout

For that price you could build 2 true retro 4x4s with a completely new driveline under them. Have enough cash left over to buy a new truck gun to put in the back window of each one and MAYBE have enough to take the old lady out for dinner if she doesn't argue about the money you spent.

I don't know if you call 20 years old retro or not but this is what I have driven now for over 20 years and this is what it looks like now. It has 180 thousand miles on it and has been my work and trapping truck and is driven in winters with our salty roads and still does not have any rust. No major issues yet other than a fuel pump a couple of years ago. You are welcome to come and inspect it if you doubt me. Ford or not, it has served me well for all of those years and I expect it to give me a few more. (4.6 liter)

I like the retro look on almost anything including the Chevy pickups.

That is sharp! I went with the crew cab version but that is sharp for sure.

Ford's are just plain butt ugly, Chevy's look ok but high priced for something that breaks down a lot
