To me it depends on what condition and how original the truck is. I wouldn’t want to destroy an unmolested 60-70 year old original truck in decent shape. Once you slam it you can’t go back to original.

Now if the truck has been “worked” on by so called mechanics that own a pipe wrench and BFH with that “Git-R-Done” attitude, then I’m all for it.
