I have been to a few "historical society" shows on the West Coast, but it seems the historical aspect is lacking out here. Many trucks get modified, just like pickups. The 1 piece 10 hole aluminum wheels, too much chrome and extra large front bumpers are the biggest turn off's for me. What I saying is, when someone says they have a 1959 brand X, I really expect it to have all '59 componets, just like when assembled new. Isn't that what preserving history is all about? The 1 piece 10 hole aluminum truck wheel truck wheel on a pre 1970 truck is beginning to look like a rally wheel on a 67 thru 72 pickup to me. I'll wait till this site gets the photo attachment mess straightend out also special-K, I am a truck person, not a computer geek.
