collector truck
If you could have a collector truck from the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's or even 70's ,what would you like to have?,I'm partial to 40's and 50's myself,
not much in the 70's interests me.

Re: collector truck
I've always liked the '55 Chevy P/U. An old panel wagon would be cool too.

Re: collector truck
I like the offerings from both Ford and Chevy when it comes to classics. The old Chevy Sedan Delivery trucks were kewl....I wanted on in HS for a "love wagon."

Re: collector truck
'57 Mopar Sweptside. Preferably Fargo or DeSoto, since they're FAR more rare...but a dodge would work too.

That's my '60 that I used to have...sold it to a guy in southern California that rebuilt it VERY nice. He just sent me pics about a week or two ago actually...

The Power Wagon. God's 4wd.

The '57 Sweptside. Yes, its a truck with fins. Awesome. Came with the semi-hemi as well.

Check out this website...its got lots of cool ass trucks on it, if you're interested in 'em.

I know the Syclone is "new" but that is a pretty rare truck.

Re: collector truck
If I was gonna buy a truck from the eras you mentioned...
A one ton crewcab long box from any of the big three made inbetween about 1974 and 1979...must have the big block, either 440, 454 or 460.
1953 Ford...the one with the really cool looking grille
Late '70s Bronco/K5 Blazer
