It's nice to see these old 70's Fords passed down thru the generations, maybe i'm wrong but I don't see the same affection for the modern stuff, are your grandchildren really going to want your '07 Powerstroke 40yrs from now? I think not. lol

That's what they were probably saying about our trucks 40 years ago. Regardless, I feel sorry for anyone trying to restore one of these new trucks 40 or 50 years from now. With all the electronics and plastic parts, just getting the parts will be a major headache.

True! lol. Todays vehicles are pretty much disposable, designed to be replaced not rebuilt.
