I think I like any truck made before '73. Still All-American. Still built for the working man, with the later end gaining enough comfort and style to rival the trucks built post-'72 well into the '80s, when GM led the way into the modern era of trucks with their 'giant step' '88 design

So, back to the earlier "other makes". I did a vintage 4wd thread with the same theme in the 4wd & Off Road forum and it became a favorite for many. This thread is for 2wd-only. If you want to see or post 4wd pictures please go visit the Vintage 4wd thread. Thanks

I'll start with some I have always like for looking like trucks that most always said were ugly. Of course nowadays with interest in classic trucks coming into the mainstream with vengeance, you'll see them all getting "slammed with modern engines and O/D crammed"
