Talking Best looking year?

Whadya think is the best looking truck body style year/years ? It should be pretty obvious which one I like. I like the looks of my 01 F-150 quite a bit, too.

And as far as dislike? I can't stand the look of those boxy GM's out right now .

Apologies if this thread has been around before, but hey, I'm new and didn't see it anywhere.

i like the 1992-1996 f-series best. i think the new '04s and '05 f150s have the worst designed truck front end ever , they remind me of a taurus

The '78-'79 (square headlights) were always quite sharp looking and very progressive in their day. My current '02 is pretty sharp as well.

I haven't yet gotten used to the '04-'05, they don't quite do it for me. The late '80's with the huge bug-eye headlights were hideous. I never cared for my '88 and it just got uglier with time.

I hafta vote for the 92-96 F-Series too, but I'm not exactly impartial. '69-70 wasn't bad, and I haven't met anyone that didn't like a '56.

I love the body style of the 80-86. I think the worst is the 87-91. The front-ends are fugly and the layout's of the interiors are . I think the current body style F-150's are pretty foul as well.

Not including 04's & newer, I think 87-91 are the best looking. They looked like a truck, all business with little or no extra flash.

IMO, the worst looking are the 97's and those of the same body style that followed.
