The late 50's Power Wagon only came in 4WD. I don't know if you could ever get the Apache in 4WD, but my Dad's uncle had a 4WD 62 C-10 that he kept around until 1980 when he was too old to drive.
No, I'm not going to suggest any Fords. Too many hostile thoughts from fist fights in elementary school. I was a big Chevy fan.

I had a '72 Chevy Blazer, a great vehicle. Also, an '87 K-5 Chevy Blazer that fell apart at 75,000 miles...last GM product I've owned, except for my wife's Saabs, of which 3 were wonderful and one (the first design under GM management) wasn't very good. Her '04 Saab is wonderful, though.

I believe that NAPCO built a few "factory" chebby Apaches in 4wd for GM in 1957-60. I'm not positive, mind you.

Every GM but one that I've owned has been a POS. Chevs, buicks, Pontiacs, one caddy, and a couple of Oldsmobiles.

The ONLY one I would buy again is the 1964 LeSabre. 355HP aluminum v-8 YAHOOOOOO!

Not much luck with Japanese, either. For commuting, I'd jump all over another Nissan Sunny (not sold in USA, called the Micra in Canada), though. Hondas have NO personality or style, and Toyota is overrrated and overpriced. Subaru is quirky, and Mitsu is Japan's Chrysler.

I've been quite pleased with my Fords. Then again, I don't go for the econoboxes or sportscars. My current ride is a crown victoria, and my next will most likely be from the same mfr. unless something really interesting comes out by then.
