kind of makes you wonder what the new trucks they are selling now will look like in 35 years.
BTW, I am pissed off. you would think the engineers back in the late 60's could have built a window crank handle that will last longer than 35 years. oh well, at least the original headlights still work. (T3's at that)

When I was still in school I worked at a sheetmetal shop. The two brothers that owned the shop had their Dad working there too. Every Friday afternoon it was our job to load Pops truck with as much scrap sheetmetal as it would haul. It was a 60-66 gen truck that had been painted black with a brush at one time. There wasn't a panel on it that didn't look like a bag of marbles from the years of scrap sheet metal being thrown on it (and at it). Till this day it is still the most dented up truck I can ever remember seeing....
