What’s this nonsense about old trucks not lasting as long as new ones?
I kept my ‘86 GMC 4x4 crewcab dually because I know it will outlast anything built since.
Zero electronics. Simple as a brick. It’s over 30 years old and it ALWAYS starts and runs.
Wanna bet how many of these overcomplicated new trucks will be still working in 30 or 40 years?
I dare say almost NONE of them.
I have a ‘55 Chevy that will run as long as gasoline is available.
Heck it’d be pretty easy to convert it to electric if I had to.
The new stuff is really, really nice. Ultra capable. But longer lasting? No way.
