all kidding aside... K establishes a very good point. Not only is this truck valuable in its own right. Its irreplacable. Only a lump would buy it for the purpose of chop, cut rebuild....

theres a down side too. these origonal trucks.... you cant just hop in them and drive them. first it devalues them, second it can be risky. rubber and other parts may have deteriorated. thus causing a fire hazard. rusty voltage regulators can cause electrical hazards. old batteries can leak acid. oils can decompose...

thats why some people are simply not cut out to be responsible for these types of vehicles. You show them, you dont drive them, and you certainly dont chop cut or rebuild them. if your going to turn a truck into junk, then start with junk
