What's the point of an old 3/4 ton truck?

A lot depends on price.

Are 3/4 ton trucks typically more expensive? Or are they so old now that it doesn't really matter?

Also, which seats improve the ride comfort? I noticed that some newer trucks have gone over to harder seating, which I'm not a fan of. I like the 80's and 90's plush seating.

I always heard they ride a good deal rougher. That would be the only reason I would go with a half ton.
