...I never understand those people.

If I have to explain,you wouldn`t understand.Build it,don`t butcher it is my motto.I`ve built pro-street trucks,I`ve restored trucks to original,and I`ve had untouched originals like this one.I believe in leaving fine examples of originals as they are.If I want to build something I "build" it all the way,not get all lazy and hack up a good truck because it`s easy.It`s a matter of respect that some will never comprehend.I`d just feel selfish taking a well preserved 39 year old vehicle and altering it for my momentary purposes.I`m building a custom shortbed now using all unrusted GM sheetmetal from several trucks from all over the country.There won`t be a bolt I didn`t put on it and when done I can say I truly built it.I`m going to great lengths to have it appear to be an original truck someone modified.That`s building a custom truck,not ruining a peice of American history.
