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.
Nothing lasts very long. Even if you can keep it running it gets so out dated that nobody wants it.
