Re: What makes you like your year more than the other years?

resurrecting a 11 year old post!

I'm partial to the '72 because it was the refined truck. Namely, it came with the modern moulded door panels (that oh-so-many earlier models changed to later in life) and the windshield mount mirror....and 75 less horsepower!

Also, I enjoy the "end of the line" models in general as its interesting to to see how the production numbers often increase, perhaps because of all the people finally pulling the trigger because they wanted the body style for the past few years not wanting that "square body thing" that was right around the corner.

For this is also the case with the 1969 Camaro and Firebird, the 1986 Ford trucks and the Mustangs of the same year. Growing up, my dad did the opposite and got the 1980 F-150, when I wanted the 1979.
