I've never owned a truck, but had a Wrangler for a while that I bought new in 87. I've always favored wagons. The wife has always wanted one and I'm tired of begging & borrowing friend's trucks. We started looking at 73-87 trucks assuming they would be easier to acquire cheaply, but soon found that the 67-72 are just better looking and not overly expensive. We have negotiated the purchase of a 69 Longhorn and given time to get the cash together (we were just in the research phase... but the truck is beyond perfect for us).
Looking forward to getting greasy and being able to haul what I want... WHEN I want
