I'm not "restoring" to win any car show trophies. Replacing the wiring with modern wire is just a safe thing to do.
I will add an alternator and install bright headlights - as this is a weak point on original trucks. Also have an electric wiper.
I hated driving in a snowstorm and having to let up on the accelerator pedal to provide vacuum to the wipers.
So to summarize, the truck will be stock, with updated electrical system, (with everything fused) lighting, and wipers.
Key points for me are to keep the original drive train, wheels, and of course the good old foot starter!
Would love to have the spotlight - as my previous truck had that. May look into that.
This is not a required daily driver, just for fun. No freeway driving, as the top speed is around 50 MPH and thats fine with me.
I don't even care if it has a fancy paint job. I bought it in primer - I wish it was still the original paint or "patina".
Thanks for all the comments / inputs - everything helps!
