Simplicity and roadside repairability were the goals of my build. If I wanted to chase fads I probably wouldn't be driving a 1951 panel truck. Seen enough Check Engine lights in my life, requiring a technician with advanced diagnostic equipment. Seen enough jam-packed engine compartments you can't even reach into for all the appurtenances. You gotta decide if you want an old truck, or if you want a Lexus that just looks like an old truck.
