Subject is comparison between the '53-56 F-100's, and the '55-57 Chevy
Pu's.

It seems with the non eye brow headlight arrangement, and possibly good
air flow off the front fenders, that the Ford is aero superior???

I like both vehicles alot

If I were richer, I'd picture one of these cabs on a modern framed rollback
carrying 2 cars, and a motorcycle, with a nice travel trailer behind
in semi retirement travel bliss.

Anybody else like to travel alot, dream BIG?????????????
