Making a 67-72 more safe.

[BrutonLS1]

Hey guys,
I ran across this crash test of a 59 bel air. After seeing how catastrophic a crash can be in an older vehicle, I've decided to post this thread to bring together ideas and builds to make our trucks more safe.

Crash Test 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air VS. 2009...

My entire family and all of my friends know me by my 68'. When they think of me, they think of me and my truck, I live for it. To imagine the horendous impact that would overwhelm my family and friends, after dying in an accident, is quite frightening. The mental image of a newspaper article with a picture of my mangled truck, and the funeral service information, is quite fearful as well.

My dad is in the Army, and has seen many deployments, and experienced many difficulties. He once quoted, "Think of the worst casinario, and how to survive it."
Here's some of the things I've been thinking about:

-Steering column with an airbag, and other dash airbags
-roll bar that's in the cab, behind the seat, that wraps discretly around the rear glass
-seat/seat belt upgrades
-frame supports/ (kind of wild and out there but, crumple zones?!)

If you have any ideas or builds, let's hear it

Thanks for reading, as always, you guys rock.
