Like the guys have advised you Jerry or is it Joe, it’s all in which path you choose, it’s
your truck and it’s you check book. The two extremes are the purist and the customizer.
The purist wants every detail of the truck restored exactly as it was when it rolled off the
assembly line right down to the markings on the bolt heads.
At the other end you have guys that like the general look of an old truck but prefer to
customize it so it has all modern improvements of a new truck such as modern driveline
and full independent suspension, modern paints, plush interior complete with surround
sound, AC, power brakes, power steering, tinted windows electric door locks, leather
buckets and shag carpeting, sound deadener top bottom front back and side to side,
custom door panels and headliner, LED and Halogen lights. And there is much more
depending on how much you want to spend.
Then of course you have the largest group who fall somewhere in between those two.
So if you find what your looking for you’ll have to do some soul searching and decide on
how you feel. But remember this; “Anyone can cut and old truck up, but it takes a real
mechanic to restore one.”
Good luck, and just where is the treasure trove of old trucks you’ve discovered????
