Ouch, my truck has been insulted! Proud owner of a '63 F100 (not a unibody)

guess I'll avoid the general population and go back to my own crowd (1961-1966) At least they understand...

This is a no brainer, I think that 78-79 is the best year Ford has made a truck.

I like the 92-96, then the 78-79. But why does 2001 have its own spot. What sets it apart from the rest of the 99-03 bodystyle? (Quiz time, why is it 99-03, not 97-03???)

Is it because they still made the old body style of 250 and 350 in 97, and in 97 and 98 they made the 250 light duty??

BTW, what years were the exhaust in front of the passenger wheel on the taurus looking body style (97-03) or as t dickie says (99-03)

There is one little difference between a 97-98 F-150 and a 99-03 F-150, or thats all I have seen. The shape of the grille and bumper. On the 97-98, the bumper runs straight across, as does the grille. But in 99-03, the grille dips down deeper, and the bumper contours to the grille. Just thought I'd throw a little test out there for ya'll.

As far as I know, they only put the exhaust there in 97.

I'd still like to know what 2001 has its own spot on the poll? Is that supposed to be 2004?

Cant vote.
I will not put my fav. style, the 40-41 with the 50's fat fenders. No, no,no.
plus, I am in the same boat as Sam Fear, my '64 lwb is not a unibody either, although unibody might have been my second choice.

I'd have say the 92-96 as my first pick with 72-79 and 80-86 right after. I'm not a big fan of the later body style, I do think they are great trucks, but to me they look like they sat down on an air hose. Jmo. Not looking for trouble.
