That is very unfortunate, not everyone has the understanding or perspective to appreciate things like the spid, or even at times just caring for something old like these trucks. An old truck has different significance to different people. Some beat them into the ground and don’t give a damn because I’m their eyes, they are already old and worn out. Others (just about everyone on this site) appreciate them for the truly cool things they are and appreciate them and doing everything possible to keep them going. It’s too bad it looks like maybe your truck got an owner of the former example as opposed to the latter.
That said, most of these old trucks can be made nice again with enough time and money. Good luck in your project!

Thanks for the information I have planning my build and have been slowly getting supplies that I know I will need and after looking at the tool link Grumpy posted it looks like I have a good reason to buy a new toy. This site truly has a lot of members with a wealth of knowledge I definitely will be asking more questions I'm sure I will run into issues along the way but it will be worth it in the log run and will be a good project to do with my son
