What to look for?
Well my dad has been wanting to get another truck for some time now and I have been wanting to do a project car for some time also. Well I found out my dad's into old trucks
 so he agreed we could do a rebuild on an old truck like an old modle T. So hears where I need your help. What trucks should I look for from the 50s and 60s maybe 70s too. Dosnt have to be a ford I just used that as an example. Heres the only requirements it needs to be Rwd and stick engine dosnt matter because we are going to swap in like a 350 or something. The trucks going to be a hot rodder basically so keep that in mind to. Thanxs ahead of time

If you're going to go with a truck.. go big.
72 Suburban 454 3/4 ton 4x4 lifted 6" on 35" AllTerrain BFG's... 700R4 Swap... Screw manuals.. they suck ass in the dirt anywho. Just think how fast you'd burn up clutches on a 4x4 trail... its all about the Auto... just keep it cool with a Transcooler.  Hotrod Trucks are ok... but have nothing on 4x4s.

Well, if you want to replace clutches alot.. by all means.
But for simplicity and easy operation... Auto is king on the trail.

why newer? Newer vehicles suck. haha
just more expensive... with older stuff you can spend the same or less for something thats already been fixed up. Means you get to go play right away

For an old truck: Find an El Camino 1959-1970. Or, if you want to be weird, Ford Ranchero. They're basically Impalas/Chevelles or Falcons/Fairlanes/Torinos that grew beds.
For a newer truck: GMC Syclone. You'll own Camaros and look good doing it. Plus they're comfy. (I should know, my cousin's "work truck" is the SUV equivalent, the Typhoon)

'54 Chevy pickup. A buddy of mine has one, blue/silver. Beautiful truck, just rare enough, can be very fast, even w/ the 3-on-the-tree transmission

how's about a 68-72 chevy fleetside with a built 350 dropped on 20's?
or any year s10, they're cheap, and swallow a 350 pretty easy... or an 88-98 fullsize chevy... cheap to make fast and low...
