but so far I've resisted the temptation. Of course here in New England most of the really nice older trucks (50s & 60s) are summer only and the middle-aged ones (70s & 80s) are pretty beat, having been used and abused for many years.
Had a job once where I could regularly drive a 54 Ford pick-up. Wasn't a great driver, but sure was a fun machine.
For hauling stuff these days I just put a trailer on the Saab, but I do think about a truck. Had one once and it sure was useful!
As for driving dynamics...
Paul Newman in Grumpy Old Men explained, "Old trucks don't shake. They wobble."
