I was thinking a '72 (disc brakes) 1 ton with a 350. Good farm truck now that
Dad's spending a bunch more time up there. His Jeep isn't a terrific hauler.
Actually last fall when I was there squeezing the Dodge around on some of the
woods roads I got thinking about buying a Suzuki Vitara or Sidekick to put the
engine from my '98 Jetta into. The Jetta is very rusty and on borrowed time.
Put 31" tires under the Suzuki with a lunchbox locker out back and it'd be a
pretty good woods rig. Dad had a Chevy Tracker that was decent in the woods
stock, better than his Jeep Liberty actually, he's had the Jeep stuck several
times, never did stick the Tracker. Sadly it was destroyed by a drunk in a
Subaru.

I thought too the shovy oldsmodissel PU was available before 1982,
but so far, I have no proof. Wikipedia don't know... I don't
remember
63-66 shovy/GMC PU with an OM603 and fully synch 5 or 6 speed.
Thurs I drove by a camper park and saw a 57 or so Apache 36 one ton
truck (flatbed), in what looked like the oxidized remainder of
original red lacquer. That was droolworthy, (and more scarce) but
I'd prefer a 63-66 model. One ton is nice. (Big enough to be
actually useful) Put airbag suspension under it and it'd ride nice
too.
