I think the best looking were the '53-'56 F100's. Those were soooo sweet.
The worst looking has to be the new Rams. That lumpy-fendered gawdy front end is so over-done. The new Dakota is no prize either.

I hope my dad keeps his 2000 Dakota forever, cuz if he gets one of the new ones I may cry. i agree those are pretty ugly. My favorite actually is the brand new Superduty's I love the big front end on em. Of course the Tonka truck too, haha.

the 1940 Ford, car and 1/2 ton, are the best looking vehicles ever made for consumption by the general public, IMO. So that would be the 40-41 half ton for this poll.
I know, I know I own a '64, '72 and a '27. but nothing compares to the '40. Wish I never sold mine.

I don't like any of the 80's trucks, and ver few of the 90's...
61-66 is one of the best body styles I think... like the 66 best for the grille.
I used to love 78's-19's but I bought a 76 and I started liking the front end of it a bit better than the others.
As for the new trucks... Im not very fond of them
However the 97'ish trucks are nice

I think the best looking years of Ford trucks is the 73-79 body style. If I had to choose just one year, I guess I'd go with 1977. I also like the 1980 thru 1996 Ford pickups alot. Although I think the 73-79s are the best, those 80s and early-mid 90s Fords are very nice, too.

By general style - Ford '50, '64, '72 and the '99 f-250's. Ch**vy '50, '55 '62 and Apache. Newer D*dge RAM.
The f-150's in the last few yrs have a funky look to the bed sides IMO - like somebody lifted it and added an extra 6" of body panel too it.
The perfect truck is an extension of yourself - in my case that would be: kinda old, kinda ugly, kinda beat up, but still working. I like a truck that strikes fear into the guy ahead of me when he looks in the rear view mirror - even when he's in a Expedition. Heck, even the old '50's Bonneville's, or the like, are more 'get outta my way kinda bad ***' looking than some of these new trucks.
