This is just my list. I figure I can't do much worse than Business Week.

Each are dedicated pickup truck bodies, no car-clones like the El Camino need apply. Also designs are evaluated for beauty only, and for me that means an elegant/flowing character.

1. 1995-7 Ford Ranger. Yeah, I know. It's because I have one. Still the 1995 restyle of the Ranger created what I think is the most Jaguar-like truck styling ever. It really needs the side moulding for the design to work, however.

2. 1997 Dodge Dakota. New design in '97 with similar Jaguar-like appearance. The tapered look of the cab I find especially nice. It loses points for the fake fog lights on the lower-line models, however.

3. 1935/36 Ford. Classic lines applied to the pickup form. If the hood were 6" longer it could pass for a Lincoln truck.

4. 1963 Jeep Gladiator. Blocky, but handsome with the simple vertical grille. This is one truck that looks better stripped than loaded with options.

5. 1967-69 Ford. Ditto, although this truck needs a chrome grille to really look good.

6. 1938/39 Diamond T. If Buick made a pickup.....

7. 1967/68 Chevy. An elegant design, something you can't say about many trucks. GM somehow let this one go without the usual "tough-guy" appliques that many of their trucks get.

8. 1972-1977 Datsun 620. The first mini-truck that looked like somebody cared what it looked like.

9. 1972/73 International. The divided grill restyle (2 years only) made this blocky design look sophisticated. Before and after it resembled a bar of soap.

10. 1955/56 Chevy. The Ferrari of truck design.

'My vote goes to the '66 Ford P/U

[Paul Dobbin]

OK, now here is a topic I like and have some experience with:
My top 10 pickups:
#1 1935 Ford V8 Pickup (not the 36 because it didn't have wire wheels)
#2 1959 Chevrolet El Camino
#3 1929 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup
#4 1940 Ford Commercial Car (renamed pickup with car front)
#5 1934 Ford V8 Pickup
#6 1957 Ford Ranchero
#7 1956 Dodge Sweepside Pickup
#8 1979 GMC Caballero (El Camino dressed up by GMC)
#9 1979 Chevrolet Silverado
#10 1972 Cadillac Coupe De Pickup
Classic lines of all of them are better than many cars.

1955-59 Chevrolet, especially the Cameo
1955-59 GMC, expecially the Suburban
1937-39 Studebaker Express Coupe
1936 Mack/Reo
Any Diamond T pickup
Any Ford 1932-36 plus the opencab Model A's
1948-50 Ford
1953-55 Ford
1967-69 Ford
The current edition of the F-250 Super-Duty Crew Cab. That truck blends a combination of elegance and brawn that no other pickup has ever came close to.
And it's a good thing that makes 10 because I don't know of another pickup that even comes close to making the list.

[Dandy Dave]

There is only one on my list. 1957 Dodge Sweptside.

In comparison, everything else is ugly according to my warped little mind. Dandy Dave!

[1937hd45]

I can't think of10, but these are my favorites.

1956 Ford..........Drove one home from LA in 1975

1928-29 Ford Closed Cab

1926-27 Roadster Pickup

1937 Ford Pick Up

1940 Ford Pick Up

My favorite has always been the '53 to '56 Ford F100. The '53 still had the flathead V8, the '54-'56 had the new overhead valve Y Block V8. I would like to have a '56 V8 standard trans with overdrive. That would be a sweet ride!

My wife is an old farm truck fan. You know the stake bed back with step-sides and color would have to be green.

You know what would be neat if you all can link pictures to your favorites. That way I can show them to her and get her hooked and then maybe in the future I will have another project on my hands to do. That is once I finish up the Packard.
