It's your truck. Butcher it as you see fit. The more trucks you guys tear up, the higher the value of the stock ones.

64, I've been there & bought the t-shirt. I had a '82 Chevy stepside that I took the Pro Street plunge with. It was cheaper than building a car this way, but not by much.

Long story short, I spent alot of money on something that wasn't able to be driven as much as I would have liked, got disillusioned & sold it to build a house. Don't get me wrong, I had fun with it, but it got way out of hand.

Being a reformed Pro Streeter, I am going to derive more fun by driving the ever livin' wheels off my '51 3600 as soon as it's in a driveable condition.

Just enjoy it as a clean driver.
