Newbie looking for advice on a n

[Rosie39j]

Generally a mustang and camaro guy, but I'm wanting a truck to drive to Home Depot on weekends and piddle around with. looking for something with a classic look in muted colorscheme, not hot rodded. I have two I like, one a 72 swb Cheyenne, 350 with 4 speed manual, one a 69 camper special 3/4 ton long bed with a 396 and automatic transmission.

I generally prefer an automatic, not sure how much I'd spend to swap the manual for an automatic.

Is the 3/4 ton going to be a harsher ride or less friendly around town? I know the shorties are generally more desirable, but what's the difference in ride?

Any thoughts or advice between these two, or other guidance, will be greatly appreciated!
