I normally don't run A/C in my newer trucks anyway. I've put 1100 miles on my '68 in the last 3 months with the 6 banger and 3OTT. I do my own body and engine work, and I can get a pretty good paint job for way less than $10,000. I guess if someone has to have everything done, they would have to spend that kind of money.
I personally don't need or what an old vehicle to drive or sound like a new one. When I'm not in my company truck for work, I'm driving either my '68 C-10, my M1009 military Blazer, or until recently my GTO (I'm building the engine for it).
I guess I'm a dying breed. I want an old vehicle because it is an old vehicle. The only modernization I ever do is OD just because I run them at higher highway speeds than they were designed for.

Something nice about limping home with duck tape and popcycle sticks instead of trying to find the broken wire or short on the side of the road
