Now that all the other guys have you discouraged, I am gonna say that I support your idea. I have a 77' 9000 Ford that I completely redone almost 10 years ago. Put a big cam 350 cummins in along with a 10 speed roadranger and spicer 3 speed auxillary trans. Also replaced all air lines, rewired the truck and put on lots of other new parts. I am sure I spent more than most people would think is worth, but I have always had a dependable truck and I don't have all the computers and electronic headaches you find on newer trucks. As far as DOT messing with you for an older truck, I live in Texas also and you should know, the DOT will mess with you here no matter how old or new your truck is. I have never regreted fixing up an old truck. As far as getting a job with an older truck, I don't know. I am self employed and use mine to move my own equipment.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
