I would purchase both too.
But the best way to decide on which truck you decide to purchase would be more than what year, make or model. I would look at rust areas, how complete, were they well maintained, take them for a spin see how they drive to get a feel for them. Taking them for a spin should show more about them, verses just looking them over.
Back in high school a buddy of mine used to own a '58 Apache swb stepside that still had the front straight axle running drums all around with a hot 350 sbc under the hood. That truck sure could lay down 2 prefect tire tracks.
That truck would stop on a dime too, once it almost put my head in the windshield, the brakes were so touchy.
But we would bounce around in the cab like we riding in a low-rider while hitting the switches.
If it has IFS up front, that's a plus, but if it doesn't I would probably pass on it since it will be a daily driver.
