I like the 56 pickup style - as you can tell. But that is just me, and everyone has her faviorite. I think the one below might be BB's.

Anyway, what is yours?

Well I'd have to say the 61-66 F100 series is my favorite. Late 50's coming in second with the early 80s coming in third

I kind of like my big dog.
It's a 1990 F53 sporting a fuel injected 460.

I assume you ment a 1990 F350? Also, the link did not work. Is your 90 a dual wheel F350?

And Zombie, something like this?

I have always been partial to the mid 70's Ford F250 4x4 pick ups. Of course I do like ALL of the old Ford Trucks. They all had style in their own right, but if I had to choose, I would slap down that 73-77 are my fav's.
Now I would also have to say that I do like the current Super Duty style as well. I think Ford did a great job designing that body. Comfortable to drive too.

Tough to pick just one...I like the Rangers of the vintage mine is ('89) and I like the F-series of the same era. I used to like the '73-79s, but lately I've found I like the '67-'72s more. And then I've always liked the unibody Slicks. But my all-time favorite is probably the '48-50 F1. I looked at one today, told the guy I'd take it. It's rough but all there. Should be a good home for my 351C.

I guess it would be a shorter list if I put down the Ford trucks I don't like! Oh wait, I don't think there are any...!

Sorry about the link. It is an F53 truck chassis under my motor home. Nothing like a hot shower and a queen size bed to make the road trip a little more relaxing.

Other vehicles filling up my driveway: '01 supercrew, '95 t-bird, '73 F250, and a '95 escort.

49, 56, and 72-F's and of course 90 E-series. I've owned a '56' and a '72' and loved them both. Now I have my little SUV, lol, the E350.

I most defintly love the 68 thru 72 and the 73 thru 79.Thats probly becuse i have one of each.My 72 f250 tows my 75 f100 4x4 to the trail head.

Ill probly have to do what tim did and then out the heard a littel.I also have a foundness for the gm trucks from 67 thru 72 and the 73 thru 87.I also have two of these as well.My 76 gmc c35 dually pulls my travel trailer or my boat.It also serves to pull my 73 k10 4x4 to the trail as well.
Ill give you guys an eyeful and tell you what else we have in the yard.Lets see we have a 82 jeep waggoner.81 and 87 f150's and a 87e150 conversion van.We used the van to tow our old travel trailer,but we traided up the trailer and we love the van so its for road trips only now.
Last year my wife bought herself a new crystler town and country minivan.And then theres my work vehicle from the base,an 91 aerostar.It was that or a chevy malibu,and i made my decesion.
All of these get driven at least twice a month exept the 81 f150 witch is not regesterd.

So far sounds good, I agree the 73/76 Fords were the best pickup ever built -

However, I was not asking which is the best, only which years you liked the looks of the best. It is the style I am after.

Remember beuty is in the eye of the beholder











while im not to fond of the new trucks,i think the older the better.The older ford trucks just had more style in my book.

That is why I am asking the beholders!
