For me when you change an old truck from original you have lowered it's
value. For I would have to undo all that work and buy another new 6 volt battery.
Best increase in value based on money spent is to get the truck or car operating.
So it will move, steer, stop, under it's own power. Then detail it inside and out the
best it can be done based on it's original condition. Jeffrey
Thanks for the input, I agree 100%. I can appreciate all the work done to modify a classic, I'm envious of the talent I see, but it does feel like once the original look "and feel" is gone it will never be the same. Unfortunately, these old trucks drive like old trucks so I understand why they get modified. If I go off of what the previous owner told me, it has new brakes front and rear and it was tuned up to run well and they drove it around town for a while. I see new plugs in the engine and a few other new parts to suggest I have a good head start.
Here's what it looked like when I bought it, and still now. All the interior parts came with it along with a couple boxes of new parts.
