That's what I'm doing in my 60...
It's funny your description of the cruiser series. To me the 80 series seems like the newest thing, 60's seem current, and 55's and 40's are the old beasts! I can't even conceive of owning a 100!

I would always prefer a 60 but I agree with others on the rust factor. The 60 actually could prove to be a more expensive option in the long run if you want a rust free one, and you want to keep it that way. An early 80 I think shares a lot with the 62s, so you can have the advantages of simplicity and the newer body style. One big advantage (for me) in the 60's over the 80's is that the 80's have full time 4x4, and I hate the idea of not being able to turn it off when I really don't want it!! Again, an element of simplicity lost...
