I'd rather have twin I beam setup, than silly McPherson struts on the front end of a TRUCK.
Struts are for go carts, econoboxes. Sissies.
Not for trucks. . Current f150s with their struts supply me with more practice than I need ... I'm always seeing busted springs on those things.and don't get me started on triton engines and spitting spark plugs, I have more time invested in extracting the remnants than I can care to try to recount.
The 96 f150 and it's available family of engines should still be being built. If I had to have a Ford truck they'd be the newest series I'd accept.
There have been a surge of nice rust free ones around here lately. They seem to have been dying off for a few years but I'm seeing more of them again.

Oh and at least as of last model year (probably current ones also) f250 and up still have twin I beam and at least on 2wd models, serviceable front wheel bearings. I replace so many more hub assemblies than I ever did inners, outers and races. It was a simple system that worked and was mostly trouble free.(if you do have to change them occasionally they're much cheaper too)
That can be aligned out of them so they track straight.
I did lots of them when I was an alignment guy
I had to install new radius arms,bushings and frame mounts on the Bronco. Took it to Tire Discounters and they said the caster was 16*, said they couldn't align. I walked out, if caster was 16*, I would not have been able to keep it between the ditches.
