(250-6/Granny 4speed/deluxe heater/4.11 posi) Or modify with V-8/auto/PS etc. I know original trucks are hard to find and this truck is original and has very little rust! Share your thoughts please?
If it is all original, absolutely keep it original. not very many of these trucks are. Also it usually costs a hell of alot more to restore a truck original than to modify one.
All original also has a much higher resale value from what i've seen.

Definately keep it original!!!
