...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.
Agreed. My 64 is my daily driver, I'm used to it, original steering and brakes and all, but sometimes you can't help but to lock up the brakes or do something else silly in the circus that is modern commuting. Stoplights are not compassionate towards these vehicle systems. All the same, I've decided against modernizing mine. The truck makes you feel like you're really operating something, and demands attention and a marginal level of skill. Driving modern is like floating on a cloud to your destination, or driving a bicycle with no pedals. My two cents.
