you can always get a vintage overdrive if you are just looking for highway speed.

I guess one big question is do you lean towards a modernized old truck, or a more original old truck. This is a great opportunity to make that decision before any commitments are made.

Perhaps you should find some local bolters and ride in their trucks and see what you like. Likewise how about a snoop through the gallery here on this site and see what you like. If you lean a bit one direction or the others, opinions will probably come out of the wood work.

I have a 59 1 ton, so I just put in a newer engine and better brakes. My 72 will be sort of stock with a improved 230 and a 700r4.
