That's why I'm not starting with a "nice old truck". There's a '66 for sale here that has been patched up a few times. The PO welded in new rockers, cab corners, mounts, etc so it's solid, but it was never sanded or filled and painted. So it's kinda ugly. I don't mind ugly, it makes it even more fun if I can have a slightly ugly '66 that is reliable and economical. I figure I'll hose it as best I can during salty times and redo the patches in a few years if need be. Atleast they make everything for the 60-66 pickups.
And for really bad weather I will have a winter beater, a 80's 4wd that gets horrible mileage. If that can't make it to work I stay home.
