I totally appreciate your viewpoint. For the most part, I like original stuff. Just look at my Blazer build below. But, the old stuff has limitations. The factory AC cannot remotely keep up with the heat we experience down south. When the square bodies were built, speed limits were 55mph. It's 75 mph for most of our highways now. A double overdrive transmission can give me manageable fuel economy. We can also make the riding dynamics better. I like the old stuff, but a better version of it.
