I personally would go for the '70 it looks solid. The '59 seems to be more bang for the buck but you best look them other real good before you make a decision. If you are going to use this truck as a daily driver you may consider the '70 as it is newer.

I personally couldn't drive a '59 daily even if it was only a 6 minute trip due to the risks of having something happen to it from general daily driving conditions etc. It is the "rarer" beauty of the two. Something to consider I suppose. Both seem like great trucks!
