agree with you Dan. What “correct” is in the cab is just difficult to figure out. So it will take some time and searching. On the mechanical, getting it back to original should be very doable and certainly what I will strive for. as it is there’s a lot in there that is not at all correct. I hope you along with others will help me get it right.If you are concerned with future value I would urge you to either leave it alone or do full-blown correct restoration. The downside to the latter is it would be penultimately difficult to make it correct. Anything less than that would be a waste of well into 6 figures.
I do want to drive this truck, so leaving it as is isn’t really an option. They got it running for the auction, sure - but it’s not really a driver. And future value is always something I have to keep in my mind but it’s also not something I plan to sell or a restoration I’m going to rush.
