Now this is ok if the old frame is in bad shape engine blown trans bad then I don't mind it. When you take a perfectly good truck cut it all up to make something you think is cool well you just ruined a piece of history. Like I said before they are time machines what I wouldn't give to go back in time and be a truck driver back then. No power steering no ac unless you had an add on unit no computers no ABS that is what trucking is about.
Computers suck but I think I prefer power steering. However I would miss the cruise control without computers. Must be gettin to be a lazy trucker. Also if I cant run 75-80 I'm not a happy camper. 65 is just plain dangerous. Old trucks can be fast too.
