If you are looking for a pre-smog, powerful and dependable pick up truck, look no further than the Ford F250, particularly the 1967-72 model years. It is pure perfection. With an 8 foot bed, this pickup can handle all of your hauling needs. What's more, the massive engine compartment comfortably accommodates the Ford FE and big block engines. If you're look looking for a good return on your investment, the 360 and 390 FE engines have great numbers and are easily worked on. With almost 300K miles, my 1972 F250 just won't quit.

Pros- The truck has a smooth ride. The cabin is plenty big for 3 people up front and optimally 2 in the back seats. It can fit 3 in the back as well. The truck accelerates quickly. It has plenty of torque. The bed can fit most objects that I need to haul. It has great gas mileage for a V-8 engine. Hardly ever sees a mechanic. Cons- not many cons that I can think of for my current lifestyle.
