I'm gonna catch some heat!!!! Folks, these trucks are not rare they are not unusual and if you look on the for sale sites they "normally" don't bring high dollar collector prices. They will not be "rare" well beyond most if not all of our life spans. Having said that there are some variations of our beloved trucks that are way more "cooler" than others and therefore should be kept as close to original as possible.
Toolman, it is your truck and you do it however you want and don't feel the least bit guilty about what you have done or will do to it. Most of all have fun with your project and keep us up on what you are doing.
