Transmissions for dummies?

I agree with connorm. These 50 year old trucks will come close to matching todays engineering but at a fairly sizeable price. You get the gearing and right then the suspension is in need of attention. Now that you have the thing rolling down the road at the speed you want the stability needed. ok that fixed. Now you start chasing leaks. Get the leaks fixed, and well, the AC needs some tweaking. AC works, motor just doesn't feel like the new one's. OK Blue Print can fix that. Now you're rolling down the road pretty good. Need some tunes. OK the Ears a bleeding now. That's good. Humm paint could use some attention.
