Should i get a truck or a car?

i am 16and have a learners permit and will be getting a provisional next month. currently i have a job at a mechanics shop and am getting a little experience with the tools of the trade, i do not plan on making a living as a mechanic just a temporary job as cars is a hobby. me and my uncle were going to restore a clic car for me but he has ped on and i am still sticking to it. with the economy and even my wallet obviously i cant afford a dodge charger or chevelle ss even if it needs to be restored. i want it to be a daily driver with some muscle, i will be driving to work and school, and the when high schools done im going into the coast guard, so it will go in storage. im not looking to restore to showroom or restore to sell, just get all body work and rust, adecent painjob and an engine redo if needed i want a small block v8 for better gas, i dont need that 440 6 pack, like i said it will be a daily driver. im looking at the plymouth dusters, buick skylarks with the 350 2bbl, and the 63-64 ford galaxys, or the 84-87 regal t types. grand nationals, being a daily driver that can handle a little beating i wouldnt mind going for the satellite instead or the gtx or cutl instead of the 442. my parents have a third vehicle they offered to me, a nissa frontier 2003, which i can use for the time being, i have also always wanted a 1994-98 ford f250 or 350 powerstroke truck which can be had for under 6 grand, my parents said i could sell the nissan which we found to be worth around 7-8 grand and buy a dodge mins or ford powerstroke truck. i would not sell the truck for money for a car because we still need a truck. so should i get a clic car, maybe i could get a great deal on a charger or cuda that someone needs some quick cash but thats unlikely, and i keep my eyes peeled on hemmigs, or should i get a truck? im kinda leaning towards a car because there still is a truck if needed and i can always get a powerstroke or mins for under 10k with decent mileage
