Why this truck??
What reason(s) do you own this bodystyle?
I love the style and the lines, looks like a truck but still smooth
Do you prefer 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton?
1/2 ton for street rod, 3/4 ton for work truck but still able to look good
Big Block, Small Block, I6?
^ No replacement for displacement
Long bed or Short bed?
short bed better value and not as many on the roads
4x4 or 2x4?
2x4, less weight to push around and they make better street/hot rods
what's everybody else's view on this??

Gotta be cheap!
I've got very little extra money to invest in this truck, so whatever I do has to be inexpensive. So my answers are:

Somebody gave my Sacred 69 to me! I fell in love because of the simplicity.

240 cid six is purring like a kitten---why change?
Long bed or Short bed?
Short bed---25% less rust to fight!
4x4 or 2x4?
2x4 for simplicity

The body style is really pleasing to the eye.

1/2 is perfect for what I need.
Big Block, Small Block, I6?
I have the smallest v8 you can get and I'm happy with it.
Long bed or Short bed?
short beds look better and everyone has a longbed.
4x4 or 2x4?
A 2x4 is fine for what I need.

-Classy lines, muscular, lotsa stainless, not a chevy. . .
-1/2 ton, mine's lowered, don't haul anything except fairlane parts. . .
-Big block, parts interchange with my 64 fairlane if need be. . .
-Shorty, looks tough, "less steel to rust". . .Amen
-2X4, looks way cooler sideways, engulfed in smoke. . . . .

Why this bodystyle?
Love the great classic look, simple yet very pleasing to my eye.
*Do you prefer 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton?- All nice, I have a `69 F100 and a `71 F350 both resale red. The F100 is a neat driver and the F350 is a great toy for heavier loads and still has the great stlying and looks, easy and enjoyable to work on.
*Big Block, Small Block, I6
302 in the F100 and a 390 in the F350[*]Long bed or Short bed?
All I can find are the long beds, I like them too. Some day would like to find a short box step side to match my 56 M100[*]4x4 or 2x4?
Again all I can find are the two wheel drives, seems that is all I need for now.
