Heres my one and a half cents: I dont think about it at all. Sure, there have been some good safety advancements in the last forty years and I dont want to discount them, but I just feel that the old truck is a time machine and I'll take the good with the bad, as is. And that the more modern items that go on it or in it, the less classic it is. If safety is a big concern for someone, they might want to go with a more modern vehicle. Truth is, if Im going to make changes to it, it will be OLDER stuff, not newer stuff(you guys have seen the '59 impala dash in these trucks, OH YEAH!) Just one dummy's opinion.
