You spend enough time working on an old truck to get it up and running and looking nice, and the scrapes on your knuckles have finally healed, and you're most likely going to want to drive your truck when you want to, not because you have to.
There are some that don't have any problem with taking it out and driving it day after day, but I've found that when you have something thats 50 years old or older, the technology of the time isn't up to the demands made on it for everyday driving, and it takes more work to keep it up and going. Sure, you can put newwer style brakes, better steering, A/C, power windows, etc.etc., but is that really an old truck? Just my opinion, but it's got to have that old truck smell, feel, ride, sound, to be an old truck.
