There are 18" wheels and then there are 18" wheels....I'm with the original poster about bucket seats in pickups.

Digital gauges and radio display
Dials with needles seems soooo much more appropriate |

Another thing I don't get is buying an old car/truck, and making the undercarriage and drivetrain like a new one. Just buy a new vehicle if that's what you want. |

I'm ok with bucket seats in a truck though. Got an old International with a pair of "captains chairs" that a previous owner installed and they are so comfortable. Plus the mice don't like them as much as the original seats.

Over head valve V8 engines. These cars/trucks were known as Ford V8's, because of the engine. And that engine is a flathead!

When I bought my F-1, a guy local to me bought another, nicer stock F-1 and ripped all the stock stuff off to put in a 454 and a bunch of other crap and painted it red with some lame 1980's lazer stripe. I bought a bunch of his stock stuff at a discount. Sometimes something has to die so another may live. |
