Don't get me wrong I am guilty of this to. But every now and then you come across a truck that is pretty stock with add-ons that were popular/needed back in the day. So it looks like the cool thing now is to find the "survivors" with the patina paint jobs. Presently the shop truck look is the "craze". If you look on the forum you'll see just as much fuss over the survivors as the restored beauties. But believe me 6 years ago, the first thing that would have went was that ugly matching tool box, today it's the icing on the cake.
man...you hit the nail right on the head! " the cool thing now is survivors..."
wish i could of figured that out before i restored mine. but i will drive mine!!!
i refuse to own another trailered queen... life and these trucks are ment to be ENJOYED !!!!
