Jenny, the only point I see in changing everything is for safety, or someone wants to be able to drive the shell of the old truck and have comforts of a modern truck. Everyone has personal preference. I for one like original and can never get into a old hacked up hot rod. But some people have very good reasons not to go original. If you look at it, you're modifying/upgrading/customizing but that's only because the original was dead. But if someone just goes out, buys an original/good condition truck and takes the sheet metal off, sticks it on a newer frame with all of the new do-dads just to joyride around and show-off, it's just wrong.
