I think it cool that there is a following for these rides. I grew up driving a 1960 short bed, three on the tree, six cylinder pickup. The only option it had was posi in the rear. No heater, and it had one visor. Then we upgraded to a 1959 3/4 ton with a 4 speed and a 292 Y-block, and this dude had a factory heater....we thought we were pretty hot with a V/8 and 4 on the floor....still only one visor. I remember when my dad went to the Ford garage and bought the passenger side visor for the 1960, then took it out and put it in the 1959.....all good memory's. By the time we sold the 1959 it had a four barrel carb and fender well exit headers we bummed from some guy that had souped up 1958 short bed with a 312 in it.

Thanks
Eric
