Having a hard time deciding if I want to trade my 66 Mustang for this 59 F100, please help

I am seriously considering trading my 66 V8 Mustang for this 59 F100 292 V8. I can not afford to keep both and I have no space, so it is one or the other. I want to hear your opinions. I know this is a truck forum. I will be using the car or truck as a cruiser and pleasure, but pretty much everyday. So I need reliability. I know the truck is more rough to drive but I do not mind that.

V, Only thing I will comment on is that someone in the past has changed the grille. The truck now has a 1958 grille. That wouldn't make a big difference, but it would not be correct.

Other than that, it looks like a decent truck.

Aloha, Tony.

Are you sure, the 2 59's I have seen have the same grill.

It is a very difficult decision because the Mustang is in such an incredible shape that is making me doubt. I equal circumstances. I rather have the truck, but having the Mustang and in the condition that it is makes it difficult to just trade.

I have always been a pickup truck guy. All I have ever owned. Fits my lifestyle much better as I never have the need to haul around more than 1-2 people and I use the bed for side work often. Just my opinion. Do what works works for you.

1958 and 1959 grille differences.

Yes V, I am sure, and I have pictures to show you, but I am not good at posting pictures here.

I will keep trying though.

Aloha, Tony
