He gave me a puzzled look and said " Son, if it ain't broke don't fix it till it is". While that is very profound advice, it's just not in my nature to leave things alone.

The other reason I am doing these builds is for my nephew. Chris has a desire to learn more about old trucks but my brother didn't teach him a whole lot. Hopefully I can teach Chris what I have experienced over the years and learn together as we go.

I fully know where you are coming from on this. I hope to teach Owen just as you are doing for Chris.
