there both bitch'n but if had to pick 1 it would have to be the chev.. 1. cause im a chevy guy 2. i think the chevy has better lines
Clarify the question, "If ya had to"? if you had to sell which one? or if you were buying which one ?
Tough call. I'm a Bowtie Guy myself but I really like the F1s. I'd say keep the Ford, get some more grill teeth and keep going. Or not.
I'm a Chevy guy but I like the earlier ones with the single headlights. So in this case I'd pick the Ford.
I'd say Chevy, because the Fords from that era are more common But, thats a Mercury. So I'm voting Mercury.
I picked chevy, I saw the poll before the pictures and was just answering an "in general" question, but honestly, If I am choosing between the two trucks shown, I likes em both but would grab the ford first
Why are our opinions so important? The Chevy has more room in the cab. What engines are in them? Oh, BTW....I can always buy another one. Just ask the North GA crew.
If it was just between those 2 trucks... I'd have to go with the chevy. Better lines and I love the shape of the cab.
I like them both but if I can only have one, I take the Merc. But I might be a little bias because I grew up being taught ford for trucks and Chevy for cars. Another option would be get rid of the person that tells you, "you can have only one" and replace that person with both trucks
Would go with the Merc. Had a 51 F-1 ford and loved it. Have 54 Chevy now and will love it too, when its finished. Would go Merc, partial to black and chrome, planning same for 54. and its also rare to find a Merc truck.
These two trucks are from 2 different styling eras. The 58-60 Chevrolet truck has 57-60 Ford trucks beat but the 51-52 & 53-56 Ford trucks beat the Chevrolet 47-55 1st trucks hands down.
I'd go with the merc, lift it, throw some candy purple paint on it, 30 inch spinners, and a insane sound system...oh shit wrong forum.
I'm also a bow tie guy but I have a huge soft spot for the F1s... and if theose are the exact two trucks to make a choice over ... MMM-mmm that's a good looking ford ... um Merc.
The Merc ... Hands down I never liked the 4 headlights in the 58 - 59 Chevy pickups. If the Chevy was a 55 - 56 - 57 ... I would go with the Chevy. More room, and already 12 volts I drove a 55 Chevy Cameo as my dailey driver for years. Neat old trucks and easy to work on. .
