I have to agree that older is better and cheaper. Personally I'd love to have an old truck for a daily driver, but having three growing children (12-13-14), I need to find a crew cab. If I could find one of those rare 3 door crew cabs with 4 wheel drive I'd have it made LOL. If you can get by with a regular cab then I say go for the '65, it's got style and a family history you just can't get in newer stuff.
