I'm happy to see this discussion. So many people take the attitude that any car built before (arbitrary cut off, usually 1970s) is inherently safer than later cars because STEEL and completely overlook that just because the vehicle may possibly be more robust, somehow that translates to immunity for the occupants.
Yet one more thing for me to tackle once I get to work on the truck.
I assume everything mentioned here would more or less also apply to a 52 GMC?
