My Dad's pickup when we were kids was a '60 Ford F100 short bed. Had two options: style side bed and posi rear end. Visor only on the drivers side. No arm rest on either side if I recall. Then in 1970 he sold it for $600.00 and got a '59 F250 with a scrapped 292 in the bed and 4 speed. The final incarnation of that '59 was with 312 heads, 4 barrel carb and fender well exit headers! Kid we were! We thought we had a hot rod. That was a great old pickup. Took it to high school daily. Then my first pickup of my own was a 73 Dodge "Camper 7500". 360, torque flight. Eventually put a 440-3 motorhome engine in it and pulled my old travel trailers....whatever I had back then. Sure glad to have my latest rig....LML and all!
