    I didn't know the Ranchero and el Camino were part of this being they are first generation S.U.Vs. The 57-58 Ranchero and the 59-60 el Camino would be my picks.
     
  2. I like most of them, especially the ones with dark fenders and bright bodies. I am not convinced about white walls on trucks.

    What would have been a very tight style haג Studebaker done what it's Argentinian subsidiary did: design a proper bed for the Champ.

    Obviously, the "Edselero".

    My personal favorite truck design is the 58-60 F100... but because it's so ugly it's beautiful. That being said the 40 Ford pickup wins hands down.

    Wow! Thanks for the mention, Rusty1
    Honored and humbled to be included in this list. All the trucks in this thread look damn fine to me.

    '40 Ford in the closed cab variety, and '29 in the topless model. But I could be prejudiced.

    My '56 Dodge low bed side thinks so too! Wish it was a big back window (and finished) but you can't have everything.

    I like the truck Timmys dad had in the show Lassie. It had some serious wheels.

    Thanks, I was so busy looking at the truck, I missed the wheels/tires arrangement entirely. You're right, silly. Sorry, that didn't come off right, silly me. ;)

  16. I was always partial to the "Fridges" but when I bought my Uni I fell in love with that body. Not the best pickup by far as a truck but very pretty. IMO

  17. Henry Ford perfected the automobile with the Model T and its all been downhill from there...
