If you don't see a need or have an itch for someting special for your truck...I would put the money in savings and wait...the time will come when the "lite" will go off and you will say...."I got to have that"...then you will know. Or...pm our Vendors and I bet they can offer sone ideas. Also without pics its hard to offer opinions. JMHO

^^ what Lucky said.

and remember, it's a 40 year old truck. having "back up" money to repair things that break would be nice to have on hand as well. yes?
