I need a truck, so it's a more practical project for me, but I'm glad I have the money into a classic as opposed to the same money in a rapidly depreciating 2007 Toyota Tundra.

Craig, that truck doesn't break. I had one when I was in college. It was purchased from my neighbor's parents, a 72 GMC 1 ton, Camper Special. I restored it, painted it in my friend's backyard (he had a part time job at Earl Sheib) and the bed was wood so I milled it in my shop. Then construction got busy and the truck was needed. My workmen helped destroy it. I changed the distributor to a GM electronic one, a hot intake, 4 barrel carb and a rebuilt Turbo 400 tranny. Tell you the truth, I love the way it drove. That v8 torque can be felt. It was very direct similar to my 93 old school 12vCummins. Which I need to sell, says my supreme commander.
