Many changes were implemented that make these trucks the best and most desirable of the era. They are arguably some of the coolest trucks ever built, tough, solid, practical and ruggedly handsome! This may explain their success when new and their cult like following status today as collectibles! The easiest way to recognize the late '50's models is by the cab with the slant front windshield pillars gone in favor of the more refined and highly desirable wrap around windshield leading the earlier models to be referred to as 'slant cabs'.
