Best trucks ever IMO. 73-79. Almost entirely without electronic BS, Bulletproof drivetrrains and a unique look.

Sure the new stuff has more power and whiz bang whatever. But they are more car than truck. At 10 times the cost.

My baby was a 77F250 Camper Special W/460/C6/Dana 60, but I have owned several of that vintage. All were stellar..

My wife's uncle had a 69 F-250 that was very similar. He drove it all over the US and Canada. It had well over half a million miles on it when he sold it, but it still ran good.

Yeah, those mid to late ‘70s Ford pickups are a perfect expression of pickup truckness. They’re like a Boeing 707 airliner or a Martin D-28 guitar in that they sort of define the category.
