That is alright for people that do not really need to use their trucks as trucks.

I have three trucks now, a '67 that is lowered three in the front and five in the back (it is just a cruiser), I have a bone stock heavy duty '75 C-30 dually that I will use around the farm to haul whatever needs hauled and finally I have a '92 K-3500 dually for heavy duty hauling on the highway.

If a person only has one truck they really need to decide what the purpose they will use the truck and make it their own the way they like it. Of course budget can play an important role in any changes a person makes to their trucks.

Our budget is not a big as some others, but since we do all our own work we can afford to modify our trucks the way we like them. Of course as usual it seems I have rambled on.
You say they no longer become useful.
