Unusual problem

I have an unusual problem. I have a 2003 s10 and I want to trade it for a Ford truck. I have two options. I have found a 76 with a 460, auto, and air. It is in great shape and needs nothing. I have also found a 92 flareside with a 302 and 4 wheel drive. It is in very good condition and needs a paint job. I really don't need either truck, but I am sick of looking at the s10 and thinking about all the money down the drain. Both places are willing to trade straight across for it. I already have a 67 f100, 78 f150 4 wheel drive, 79 flareside, and 85 Bronco. I am just looking for other people's thoughts, opinions and pros or cons of either model. Thanks for the help in advance.

Given your fleet, I don't see pros or cons with either trade.

The 92 is prolly alot more comfortable and, in my opinion, the aero front end looks waaay better than the 80-91 F-Series. For example:

You don't have a problem.... you have a conundrum, wrapped in a riddle, masquerading as a question...

And my answer is yes....ditch the S10 and get another Ford (biased opinion)

My advice?
Sell the S10 outright and put the cash into a build thread.
