First time driving my 71 gmc in a month

[71gmcC15]

I haven't been driving my 71 gmc as of late because I've been more focused on my 07 Sierra 5 speed. Well thats at the body shop getting rust fixed so I am now stuck driving my 71. Wich is fine. But after not driving it for a while I notice some thing that I must of just got used to like the lack of leg room even with my bucket seats thare is not much. How hard the brake pedal is do to manual brakes and and no power steering always gets me at first. But the biggest th im bg I notice is how bad the roof rust has gotten. I'm just going to run it and not fix it but in a year or so thare probably won't be much inner roof left. I also notice how bouncy and ruff it rides. I have new shocks for it so I just need to put them on. I think not driving it for awhile was a good thing so I can relearn the pickup. O the shifter feels terrible compared to my 07s.
