Well I am a purest I guess. I like um origional. But I don't mind when I see an almost origional vehicle. The addition of creature comforts like a/c, a c/d player and 12V is a must if you intend to drive your treasure. Updating the wipers is also a must for a dailey driver.
I am in the process of re-restoring a 41 1/2 ton. She had 1 restore (sort-of) about 15 years ago. It is my intent to put her back as origional as possible but I will keep the 12V electrics. However this truck will be a weekly driver and only for in town driving.
So it is realy about what you want. If you want to DESTROY A PERFACTLY GOOD restorable truck we dont mind, If you RIP A HUGE HOLE IN THE DASH AND INSTALL A C/D PLAYER its ok. If you want to INSTALL AN ENGINE THAT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE IN THE TRUCK thats ok too. I mean realy there must be at least 1000 OF THEM LEFT IN THE WORLD that can be restored KILLING ONE MORE WON'T MATTER. Have fun!!!!
