No matter what I did to fix it up it would still be an old rusty truck. Can the old rusty truck still be enjoyed, yes.

What’s not to love about a truck with original body panels and unmolested pretty much everywhere. Just the thought of all the history these trucks went through and survived is truly amazing. I would definitely love a tricked out freshly painted truck also but will take my time enjoying all the simple features of the era, while my brand new 90k truck sits in the driveway
