Newer trucks vs. Older trucks

[JKady]

Okay perhaps good brakes was a poor choice of wording, but you honestly believe that stock style brakes from 40 years ago are better than 4 wheel, anti-lock disks? I know folks survived before all these amenities, my '70 has fewer amenities than when it was new (No radio, no heater) and I drive it every day. Common sense and focusing on the task at hand while driving also used to be much more common.

If I want my brakes to lock up, I want them to lock up tight.

I used to not like them either. Then I had a fuseable link on my '93 Dodge burn out. I ran a piece of wire from the battery to the shutoff solenoid and jumped the starter with a screwdriver. Made it a couple hundred miles home that way.
