87 of course, I like having the "newer" style, but I got no emissions or injection BS. I am however partial to the 92-97 front end and plan on making that swap this summer. I'll look like a 97 but only have to deal with the legal BS of a 87. My brother has himself a 2002 PSD, but I'd rather build my old box then buy a newer SD.
I have always thought both the superduty's and the 70's trucks are kinda ugly, it's the hood shape. However if I was after a street truck it would be a 61-2 unibody, those trucks are sliiiick. I used to work on one that had a 427 SOHC in it, that was sweeet.
love the look of the 80-86s, but drivetrain and technology wise, gotta agree, i love my 89. got the reliability of fuel injection, but with only the bare minimum in sensors and computer restrictions.
Love my '95, had a '96 F350 new. Like the front bumper with the openings in it. Had a '99 and '00 SD and they're okay. Anything newer is hideous(like the newest SD).
My favorite years is the 92-96 series but, I can't forget some of the classic looks that I also love.
Love the '74 highboy (Big Foot 1), the '58 F trucks (the original boxy line with the twin headlights) and too many more
I'm wondering what it is about the 79 F-150 that makes you say this? I'm thinking this year would have a 9" in back, a solid 44 up front, and probably a divorced 205 transfer all good stuff. But no Dana 60, which motor, no more FE's in a 79 so either, a 351W or M? and either way no FI, I'm just curious what makes you say that?
