my first question... if you want a optioned out truck, is it cool to make factory like modifications? like changing a standard cab to big window or add factory air to a non-air truck. stuff you might have ordered if you could have back then.

I don't see anything wrong with it, since very few trucks were bought with all of the available options. My '66 BBW short/fleet has both Z61 and Z62 custom group options, side trim, chrome bumpers/hubcaps, and radio but had a 250/3 speed, and thrift heater. No A/C, deluxe heater, no gauges, V8, PS, PB, or auto trans. It kinda makes you wonder why someone would order all of the appearance options, then cheap out on the comfort options!
