well... im not sure anymore. ive had a 79 bronco that i loved and thought the best till i got this 84 f-250 w/460 so many choices i guess for four wheelin it would be the bronco w/400 goes anywhere, but for otherwise it would be an 80's f-250/350 for course black lifted big tires. you know the one that you see going down the road and just looks to damn big to be on the streets... lol

One that never breaks down, gets 50+ mpg, has auto-pilot, a fridge full of High Life, and plenty of room for the bar bunnies.

I'm pretty happy with my truck. Toss in an overdrive, A/C, EFI and a nicer ride.

I think my perfect truck would be similar to what I have already. Only changes would be a Crew Cab, twin turbo 300, 4wd, 6spd, A/C and of course EFI. Then you'd have to throw in the sound system and the 35's.

I suppose if I couldn't have that particular engine setup I'd like to have an original 427 SOHC swapped in, with all the mentioned upgrades.

A completely restored 1985 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat, black in color. Extended Cab, with a shiny chrome box in the back. 4x4 with big knobby tires. The 351 V8 engine with goodies such as a turbo, racing headers, and manual transmission. A/C, lift kit, and all that other stuff to make it go faster and it be more comfortable.

My perfect truck:

F350
Turbo Diesel
Dual tanks
Super Cab
6 speed manual OD trans
4x4
8 foot bed (because a short bed is not a truck, it's just a rolling parts doner)
Front bucket seats with center console
NO lift kit
NO oversize tires
NO exhaust stacks
NO fake gonads hanging under the back end
