Re: New versus old safety

there is no way to make this era truck safe, only to drive it as safely as you can
no crumple zones, steel dash, ladder frame, no door impact resistance and S shaped A pillars
i rolled my 1st 58 over back when in 1975, it had a suicide knob that probably directly caused the roll over
both doors flew open, causing the roof to come down and i got soaked in gas as i was half in the door frame
i'm still paying for that little escapade
