I think the 1/2-ton unit body looks rather squished, and that the 1-ton is far better proportioned. It's a matter of personal preference and luck of the draw. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | I paid $150 for my '51 1-ton panel, but it's really no more than a parts truck.... I paid more for gas to go collect it than I paid for the truck!
