Daily driving an A-body

I just turned my scamp into my daily driver, all I ever drove was mopars from the 60s-70s,
until 8 or 9 years ago, when I pulled the engine to clean and paint the bay,I bought a new ranger to drive, 20,000 miles later the water pump went out, to new to get at a parts store, had to go to the dealer, one thing after the other with that truck, sold it two years later, it was worth less then half of what I paid for it, and it still looked like new, got a 88 dakota for a transmission I had, never had a problem with that truck, totaled it when I hit a heard of deer, bought a 89 f150 for 400 bucks, two years and 1000 bucks later, it's down again.
so I'll drive my scamp and get a dodge truck when the cash say's I can, but it will be a 89 or older, I'm sick of new junk.
