Yes, for being on topic I have a little more bias for the split grille style a little older.
For sentimental value there was the utterly beat up 1970 C20 and a later F250 that were my life during some really hard times.
For your post, we did a lot of recent testing of newer ones and decided to keep renting when truly needed. At work we have fleet type light trucks and a loaded GM 3500. Fancy didn't make a difference. It's not like I don't know them, and I never enjoy using them if I don't have to.
My hangup probably comes from my background. All sizes of trucks were tools to not be poor, and decades later a huge percentage of them are no longer work vehicles. Why didn't they impress the girls back then like they do now LOL?
My real dream Ford pickup would be a 1930 or '31 Model A version.
