For most of my entire adult life I’ve had a pickup truck. Sometimes as a primary vehicle, but usually as more of a winter vehicle here in NY when I don’t want to drive my RWD coupes or sedans. My latest one is a 2011 Ram 1500, bought new and rusting (frame and body) at an alarming rate.
I’ve already decided that my next one whenever that is will be at least 50 years old, as simple as a hammer. Something as nice as this would actually check the box, and for a fraction of the insane prices of the new luxury pickup trucks.
It’s too bad the 1970-1980 Ford/Chevy pickups have exploded in value.

I’m hanging on to my 2500hd chev I bought 12 yrs ago for $13k with only 10k on the odo. It’s not great on fuel but great everywhere else - and has a 8’ box! 😉
