Are you a purist?

Between 2002-2009, my daily drivers were a '65 Valiant 2 door post, Slant manual/delete everything and a '72 Dodge W100 4x4 with a 360/NP 435 manual trans, drum brakes all around. This was in NYC.

Converted the Valiant to electronic ignition, rebuilt the suspension and converted to disc brakes using all factory type stuff. After those things it was like a new car, night and day. Didn't change anything else and it did what I wanted it to do. It handled great, better than some newer cars I've had. My wife and I took it on plenty of long trips up and down the east coast, never had a problem with it.

When I think back, an OD would have been good in the truck, like an NV 3500. Probably would have bolted right in. A/C woulda been nice too. I lived without though and I loved it.

I miss those vehicles, especially the truck.
