Dont let anyone discourage you from buying what you like--you only live once--and you start to die the minite your born--so hurry up and buy one of theese old gems before its too late!. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif If you decide you dont like it,I'm sure another collector will,you can always bail out and re-sell it. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Some people prefer older trucks and don't care about creature comforts. /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif If I lived out there you can bet your ass I'd drive in a mid-50s pickup every day.

No power steering, no power brakes, bad brake design to begin with.....in California tight streets and heavy traffic? That would be nuts IMHO.

no, its called fun. my '49 Chevy didnt have power steering, and wore her original manual 4 wheel drums, powered by a 350/350. heat wasnt something we worried about with it, nor were windshield wipers. it was an awesome truck to drive, and got looks every time we had it out. jake is right, there's just something about a 50s or 60s truck, and you will not understand until you own one.
