If you read most of the threads like I do you will know that most of us don't start with a "good stock" truck. These trucks are over 50 years old now and most have been worked to death and left to die in a field, or have been patched up with non original parts just to minimally keep them running. I appreciate the fact that folks here on this forum will go to the trouble and expense to bring back to life a truck that most people would just send to the crusher. We are preserving them.
This is true! And thank goodness for those who save them be it wildly modified or stock!
