"Couple of immediate thoughts. 60-62 trucks had torsion bar front ends. Good riding suspencion, but discontined after 62. 60-63 had wrap around front window, expensive to replace. I prefer the 3/4 ton because the brakes are better even without power. The 3/4 tons also usually cost less."

Thanks Larry, that was the kind of thing I was looking for.
Sounds like looking for a 64 wasn't a bad idea after all.
Though mostly started with the thought that:
"wouldn't it be cool to tow the 64 Chevelle wagon
to Maple Grove with a 64 truck"?
Nothing against the older sixes, but all my stuff revolves around the 194-292 series so want to stay with that.
Don't need to learn about torsion bars either!
