Gents,
Have we determined yet if he has a 1-ton?
Welcome to the Stovebolt Page, Destry! Be sure to check out the other parts of the site. Use the menu bar at the top of the page.
As for whether or not you want to hop it up, you just have to ask yourself what you really want the truck for. If it's because you need to haul things, by the time you get done doing all the mods to carry big loads at highway speeds, you might as well have paid for a late model hauler.
If you think owning an old truck is cool and you enjoy them (as most of us do,) then why spoil it?
If you're into tinkering and re-engineering everything, then have at it. Grigg is making a career out of re-engineering his truck :p and having a ball (at least I assume he's enjoying himself...)
Oh and those rims? A lot of guys (including me) have been messing with them for years and still retain all their body parts in their original configuration. Like a lot of things, they're only dangerous if mishandled -- they don't suffer fools as lightly as more modern technology does...
Personally, I agree with 30-something above -- why not slow down and enjoy the ride?
But above all -- it's your truck -- do what makes you happy. We'll all support you either way.
V/R
John
