Re: Looking for a model suggestion for my first resto project
Oh, and if you want efficient, don't really waste your time on a inline 6 engine. These trucks are heavy and the 6 isn't really going to get you better mileage than a mild V8 with an overdrive. Part are harder to find and can be a little more expensive for the 6 than the common SBC V8.
Biggest advantage to using the 64-66 is they share the most common parts and have the most reproduced of the 60-66 era. If you go with the '59 or earlier, you have a solid front axle which is going to ride much worst than the IFS of '60 and later.
