Re: numbers matching? original engine?
While the statement,"Trucks didn't come from the factory with numbers matching components" is true, there is some pride in being able to say that everything in your truck is original. These trucks are getting older and "All Original" trucks are becoming increasingly scarce.
To me, restoring means to refurbish/refinish a vehicle with the original components, or other factory prices from another.
Simply buying new parts of lesser quality is not restoring.
If you own the truck, do what you want to make it the ideal truck, but refrain from using the statement "All Original", like the big auction places like to.
