The original owner was a Texas farmer who kept it for 40 years with no major changes to the truck - it is well worn but very original. I bought it 20 years ago and stored it until my retirement a few months ago. It is time to restore it and I am on the fence about whether to 1) keep it as close to original as possible (for example 6 volt electric), 2) do a modest upgrade (for example 12 volt/ add a radio/change door locks/etc) or 3) really goose it up (for example, go V8 short block/stick on the floor/ lots of chrome/etc. My goal for the truck is to have a great looking and reliable daily driver that I can leave to my son someday. I might drive it in the local fourth of July parade but it won't be entered into a Concours d'elegance competition. I am neither a collector nor car restoration enthusiast but I do appreciate well done restorations and fine paint jobs. I came across and joined your old-chevy-truck group. I am very open to hearing your opinions an d suggestions. Thanks!
