Re: Would you do it?
I'd say changing an AD or TF truck to all electric or Hybrid first would mean it is a second truck that you wheel around in locally. Second it most likely would have to be practical for where you live and or drive. Having had to hunt a gas station in down town Seattle while towing my sailboat behind my 71 and being super low on gas I can say in that area an electric rig may be pretty practical as a run around rig. Vashon, Bainbridge or the San Juan Islands of Washington electric could be pretty practical. They wouldn't be worth much if you lived in Rock Springs Wyoming though as there aren't many charging bushes along that stretch or road.
