Shortbed 4x4, in my opinion way cooler than the others.

2x... I lean towards Fords but nothing wrong with owning each of the Big Three.. well, actually Big Two now since Chrysler is no longer an "American" company per se.. the federal government basically gave it to Fiat.

Lastly, the "F150" model wasn't available until the 1975 model year.
