There's alot of lowered 1T dually's that still work every day, hauling trailers, etc. Lowering a vehicle does not render it useless. It also doesn't mean it loses value either.
Personally I wouldn't own an all original truck- because all you have is a shiny covering over 1960's technology and parts-which in today's world are inadequate for every day use.
With the amount of parts available, anything can be done to make your truck the way you want it.

I agree with your opinion I myself like the 3/4 ton long bed and went looking for that truck with the ideal that I would update the drive train for everyday use and I just liked the look of a long bed, dont get me wrong if I had the chance to purchase a short bed I would. I have been able to buy several long beds because no one really wants them, so that is better for me but not good for the over all classic, because a lot of these trucks are being crushed just because they are long beds.
