on the lighter side, i use a 1ton 52 as a DD or my 46 plymouth(4doors+2 kids and wife and AC) but mine are far from stock. frame off on both of them. about $6,000 into the truck and $9,000 into the car not counting labor. (FULL disclosure: i own a one man restoration buisiness and can do a frame off in about 3-4 months.)
even a modified one is not a new, modern truck. you have to like driving "old" to enjoy it.
