What would you rather have? Pickup or Panel?
 

Im just wondering what most people think, Would you rather have a 39 pickup or a 39 panel truck? Why?

Thanks
Gary

Nothing handier than a pick-up truck. Ive had both and pick-up wins with me. Easier to see out - no claustrophobia when driving long distances.

I've got two '39's but they are not trucks.;)

However, we do have a '51 F-1 Pickup and a '53 F-100 Panel Truck.:)

Easier to manage them womens in a peeekup. I'd love a panel as well. Probably to hot inside. Having the sliding rear window in my peeekup sure makes driving a pleasure.

As Vic knows, I had a 40 Merc 4 door convert at one time. The police pulled me over for having toooo many womens in that thing.

Clem, didn't Panel Trucks get used to transport “womens” of questionable repute at one time?:eek:

Probably a pickup. Unless the Panel was actually a sedan delivery, which would top either choice. :D

I like my "peeekup". It's got an 8' bed that does'nt have to be made:D

Alway's like to see that 51 F-1 Vic, that is my favorite grill.

My Oh My, Zephyr Convertible...... The right year to! God has smiled on you. I missed a chance at one 25 years ago for 15K and it was a builder. Sigh...

I was never a big fan of panels, at least not that early. Big bulbus vehicles, Pick-ups sexier if you can imagine.

As the other post about which year, I am partial to the Aussie Ute.

Yes, I consider myself very fortunate to have the '39 Zephyr Convertible Club Coupe, I've been collecting everything she needs and I'm getting close to starting her restoration. Vic

Re: What would you rather have? Pickup or Panel?
 

I couldn't decide. So I have one of each. '41 pickup and a '53 Courier. I thinking the Courier counts as a panel truck.
BTW I've had the privilege of riding in Vic's Zephyr. That is one great car the way it sits now. It won't take much restoration to make it perfect.

When I was younger I would have said the panel.....with heavy springs and a waterbed in the back....hehe.

Now I'd rather have the pickup.......

I have a 39 pickup "bull nose" and a 51 pickup "buck teeth". Been told others think they are the two ugliest Ford trucks. Now working on a 40 panel. Been told one of the prettiest front ends. I got it covered.

Pickup. Most versatile of all vehicles if you only need two seats. I have 5 now. A ute is also a good vehicle.

A "Pee Cup" naturally. They are more practical. IMHO

I had a 41 panel and it was like driving around with in an oven in the summertime.
