I watched my Dad's "legacy" cars, over a dozen, rust into the Oregon ground over 30 years of neglect and the heartbreak when he found each was only worth a few hundred dollars in parts instead of the tens or thousands he had envisioned.

Your truck, your decision, no judgement on my part regardless of the way you go.

I was also thinking I need to unsubcribe from this thread. I just can't relate to what he is doing or feel that I can help at all because of that.

The truck is just a material thing. I say fix it right and make it safe, make it last and make the investment count.
So what if a lot of the original truck has been replaced by repro parts or from donor trucks? Saying it's not the same truck anymore is just something in the mind you have to get over. Just say it is the same truck. Not a lie. It really still would be the same truck in my mind and I'm sure it would for his other family members too. Just use as much of the original truck that is practically possible and not when it is not practical.
