    New vehicle time.. whats the best for me?

    Hey as of recently you have seen my first post about the 72 f-250. I need to buy a new truck what would be the best for business.? I would like something good on gas yet spacious but not to small... enough to fit up to 4 appliances at a time.

    I am open to cargo vans too..

    I just need to know which way to go since i am "old school" i don't need the bells and whistles, I just need the space.
