Re: Would you trade your glamour truck for a brand new Chevy?

That is ionic =) However I am not anti-tech, just anti-extra tech for the wrong reasons in vehicles. When people look at my engine they are almost always amazed at the simplicity. Some of the new tech is worth it like HEI, injection, etc but smog stuff and tons of extra parts are just extra points of potential failure to me. One truck I owned had 7 circuit boards and just on the boards there are a thousand ways to fail. I guess I just don't like opening a hood that is shaped to conform with a gigantic bundles of hoses, wires and parts. I bought my 68 because i consider it the peak of truck design. The new ones will stop shorter, pull more, etc but I will never sell my 68.
