Best year for what? Oil leaks?
Trying to start a fight, huh?
What ever they happen to own, of course, but as mechanically they are all the same farm wagons, ………….subjectively the 1956 is the most aesthetically pleasing.

Well, being a previous owner of a 55, a 56, and now the 51, I guess I have to recognize that the 56 is probably considered "The Classic" right up there with the 57 Chevy, the 56 Cadillac "El Dorado", and 32 Ford!
But I really like my 51. It's old, it's cool and it's a little bit different from the "Effies" which sometimes seem a little Cliche to me now.
It really depends on your individual taste and what you want out of the truck!

I like the 2 years that you mentioned and the ones in between. I've always liked the 56 foremost because it was the first vehicle I ever owned but didn't get to drive it as I was forced to get rid of it. I do really like the 48-50 and would not likely turn one down if it came my way.
