The "best" can be so many things to so many different people. Durability would have to go to Sixty's to early seventy's trucks. There are so many still in service (work trucks) around Southern California it hard to believe.

I suppose they named the 66 because that' s the first year it was a stand alone model.
Victor, I'm with you. They should have recognized a couple of trucks.

WOW, what a tough list.  I sure wouldn't want to be the guy to narrow that down to just 10 cars.

Yep, I don't recall ever hearing about any Chevy (or Ford/Dodge) trucks for that matter, that the frame broke in half when the vehicle was put on a lift....  :)  (As Toyota trucks have done)...
