I'm using a Painless wiring system so I get all the circuits fused if you call that techie. The only techie thing I've done to my truck is add a "headlights on" buzzer because I have a tendency to leave the lights on. It does have a Volare suspension, power disc brakes, power steering, electric wipers, and turn signals but I don't consider those things techie. Overall it will look from the outside exactly as Henry built it...

Ive allways been a fan of the trucks looking as stock as possible, while enjoying some creature comforts.

I can add power windows and make them look stock with hidden switches.

I can add power brakes, front and rear disc, and power steering without the average car show guy/gal knowing the difference.

Hell you could add a/c or a kick **** stereo and make it look the part with the right kits, parts, and skill.

It is still a '52 with a few modifications to make it a daily driver. It will be my only truck so I want it to be comfortable and something I want to drive. I love the looks of these trucks with the comfort of a newer one. Otherwise I wouldn't have MII, power disc brakes, power steering, OV V-8, automatic, A/C, electric wipers, etc.
