I wouldn't give a new driver a 50 year old plus vehicle let alone a truck . I would save it for her and buy a used 10 to 15 year old car. Airbags anti lock brakes crumple zones. Let her get practice on a disposable car have her help restore the truck so there is some investment in it on her part. In a few years let her start driving it.

No matter what you do to these trucks for safety they will never compare to a 2000 and newer car or truck.

Just my two cents

This is the engine restraint used on these vehicles.
