Mine would be another 77 F150 4x4 400M short bed with all the goodies but I would want everything like the new trucks have power windows and power locks air bags bucket seats extended cab but it would have to have the power like the new lightnings. Its always fun to think what if isnt it?.

GREAT question!

I would order the truck I have now, in the exact same colors, with the XLT package, factory tach, 351 Windsor, and a complete New Process factory 4X4 with lockers front and rear. Maybe a double tube rollbar, with KC lighting, and factory fog lights too.

I would order my ol' 53 F100 with the exact same options it has now, except it would have a four speed on the floor, a two speed rearend, factory PTO, and maybe some other rare factory stuff, like a mini tow truck conversion or something weird like that.

Sounds like everybody wants the truck they have right now, except new, and with more options...

1955 223 I-6 powerplant (almost done rebuilding)

First, a 79 F350 4x4 Lariat package (single rear wheel) with a 460, c6, and 60s front and rear, 4.10 gears.

Then, a 64-66 short bed Custom Cab. 292 or 352, depending on what year. Probably a 66 Ranger, as long as we're dreaming!

I would want a 1968 Bronco. No frills please, just the basic pre-SUV 4x4. A 1968 price tag would also be a nice touch

I have two choices, first a 1969 F250 crewcab (4 door), lift kit, 33 tires, 390 4 speed, and A/C. Next would have to be a 1956 F100 big back window, 292 4 speed. One day I hope to have one of each.

There are so many Ford Trucks I would like, but I would be strongly tempted to order the same as my first truck, a '77 F100, 300 I6, three-on-the-tree:

But since this is a time for dreaming, I'll take it with a 90's fuel injected 300 I6 and a factory two-tone paint job.
