The wrap around cab windows are amazing.
I see they took the front sheet metal off so nobody can see.how ugly they are.

You just sit there and be wrong in your wrongness.
Its competitors for 54:
Tell me how much more beautiful its competitors were in 54?
The Chevy is MUCH better looking, and I love Ford trucks.
The '54 IHC is way better but not as nice as the Chevy.
What about the '54 Willys?
'54 Stude is probably the nicest:
Sorry, the Dodge is ugly, the hood arrangement is goofy and the Canadian Fargo version is worse.
The Powell Sportwagon takes the cake as far as ugly goes.
There's one in the LeMay Collection at Marymount.

And rare. Those are called "Pilot House" cab, very tall. All the shiny bits up front are polished stainless. Don't think they came with a V-8 until 1955. That one looks like a B2B. B is the cab, 2 = 1/2 ton. second B = wheelbase and box length. Mine was a B3C-116.
I love me some older pickups (always on the lookout for a nice SweptSide or SweptLine). The Studebaker looks the nicest and I would rate the Chevy just above that super-square Powell thing. The Chevy looks like an older design with the big, tall hood.
The Chevy is the same as the later bodies, they just updated the grille. I prefer the earlier one.
The Powell is a truck built on pre-war Plymouth car chassis. Trucks were in short supply during and after the war. Powell got around it by building their own bodies on a chassis that was ready to go.

I don't think the Ford or Chevy are a single ounce better looking than the dodge.
For the record, I like them all. The Powell has a Land Rover vibe to it.
I likely fit in none of them. None of them likely solve any practical need for one that I have. Yet, I love me some bubble body truck.

Me too, but the Willys is my favorite. I think it rides and drives the worst, but that can be remedied.

Funny, I think the Willys is the ugliest, but ugly cool.
Reminds me of one of my favorite car books:
