LOL! I like that idea!
I've had so much fun doing my truck up the way I want, I find myself saying "If I ever get finished with this one, I will HAVE to buy another!" I don't ever want to stop fixing this and changing that.
I am head over heals in love with my truck. It's my "daily driver" ... I can't stand the thought of driving anything built in the past 25 years. I wanted a 350 sbc engine in it and I wanted the drive train and mechanics to be more beefed-up than original ... I also wanted the gas tank out of the cab ... and after 6 months of hunting on the web, I found my truck in Texas and had it transported to New Jersey. It already had the gas tank removed, with a 30--gallon tank in the rear (I like that!) and a beautiful job done on the filler neck and door, put in the rear fender ... it had all the mechanics I wanted, too and I bought it for only $8,500 ... of course, I've dropped another $12,000 in it since -- all of which can be seen at my site.
Aside from liking updated mechanics (in the interest of drivability), I like these trucks in their original-looking state. I can't stand chopped tops ... so mine looks original, except for the rear bumper which the PO did, but I like it fine and is an added safety feature if I ever should get rear-ended -- God forbid.
The first thing I did was to rewire the truck ... after 50 years, it sure needed it!!! I've got AC in it and will re-create the interior to make it my own little dream come true, with modern (LOW back) power seats, etc. ... but, again, I'm sure that if I ever get to the point where there's nothing left to do, and I imagine that day will have to come, I am definitely going to have to get another and start all over, because this is just TOO rewarding an experience!
