If you plan on keeping it and driving it (which is why you are considering all the changes anyway) then I say do what you want. After all we aren't talking about major changes to the truck, just simple every-day upgrades that make the entire experience a little more enjoyable.

To the muscle-car comment a few posts above: even clones are fetching good money nowadays. Those so-called bastardized vehicles are making good money. Case in point my brother's '72 Chevelle clone SS appraises at almost 20K.

Unchanged, numbers-matching cars bring three times that, or even more. I've seen original, numbers matching Chevelle SS with low miles pull well into the $100k range, depending on options and mileage.

I love my cars also I have a nice real U code 402 72 SS Chevelle that one is staying alone. I have quite a few cars seems to be a problem with me when ever I see a nice old car or truck I just have to have it especially if its real.
