Best 1980's truck to buy for a project

[285Roadrunner]

So, I have recently entered the vintage truck market (1980's to mid 1990's) I am starting the thread to get feedback from you all about the best truck to buy for reliability, compatibility, and parts accessibility .... I like GMC and Chevroleth, but I don't hate fords. All comments welcome.

Thanks

Neither of those are mine but I'm a fan of both styles. I have a buddy with 2 1987 Chevy's he spent some money restoring them. People offer to buy them all the time.
