Fun sighting at the hardware store. A gentleman had a 1960 Ford F-100 in near perfect original condition. Custom cab with all the options including bubble wrap rear window. The truck bed was easily accessible, bigger than today’s short beds, at an easy height to get in and out, etc. The owner ha…

[image] texases: The 1960 Chevy was overdone, too, IMO: I agree. It should be noted that with the exception of the '60 Chevy, the trucks shown are all stepside pickups. I always liked the full bed better, not for styling but because is was bit more utilitarian, a bit more bed space. However…

Really? [1965chevypickup] [obj817geo614pg9p16] [obj819geo616pg9p16] [obj837geo634pg9p16] If you like, I can provide a link with dozens more photos of stock '50s and '60s pickups with full beds. I’m guessing you weren’t around back then?

My 30 second search found lots of modified ones. Wasn’t trying to research the topic.

I can’t speak for others, but I owned pickup trucks for 24 years total, and I really miss mine. There are countless jobs that would be a whole lot easier if I still had one. I like the old ones for the reasons mentioned earlier in the thread. Ease of loading and unloading, and even ease of access a…

I was very young when I learned to drive in a GMC pickup with running boards. I delivered groceries in that truck before I was old enough to get a license. The running boards were just matter of factly there out of acknowledged necessity. These days running boards are expensive fashion statements.

@wentwest Your 1946 Chevy pickup was manufactured back when trucks were no nonsense vehicles. A right hand passenger windshield wiper on your truck was an option. The “advanced design” 1947 Chevrolet pickup which came out mid-year 1947 did not have a windshield that opened as did the 1946 Chevrole…

A friend restored a '41 Chevy pickup (his birth year), and let me drive it. Now I know where ‘rides like a truck’ and ‘handles like a truck’ came from! I’m sure it was very good at what it did in '41, but not what I’d want today.

What is it about men and pickup trucks? Everytime I see one, especially pre-80’s versions, I wish I owned it … lol … have you ever seen that magazine “Classic Trucks”? Fun read.
