2X with JB78f150... plus it's a shortbed!!! .. and if ya don't already have a 4WD, YOU'LL WANT ONE.

Or you do like me and buy one of each - a 4WD Dent and 2WD Bump. Life is good.

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.
