The Ford's probably a 302 A.K.A. 5 Litre, will probably be better on gas than the Chevy it being a 3/4 ton (heavier) and a 4x4. It's all about what you need, what you want and what you can afford. If I was looking for a cheap 1st truck, chore truck or beater truck I'd look for a 90-97 Ford F 150 with the 300 six and a 5 speed manual if I was using it off pavement or a lot in the winter make it 4x4. But that's my preference. A Dodge with the 318 would also be a good truck but they're heavy the last time I bought a truck (2001) noticed the Dodge was about a 1000 pounds heavier than the Ford. Heavy means more gas and they sink faster in the mud. On the bright side more traction and they dig down to traction in the snow.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
