    We just did a water pump on a 1980 F350 with a 351M. Still had the original radiator and coolant hoses.

    Do you think any truck built today will still have original parts in 2070? I bet they won't even be on the road. We have become accustomed to living in a world where everything is disposable.

    There’s some things that I do like. I do like forced induction and fuel injection. I like big brake kits with 8 piston calipers. But I like old truck bodies all steel. I love manual transmissions.
