Am I stupid?
My F-150 is the perfect truck for me. Plenty of power with the coyote engine, 4wd for when I need it, tows the stuff I need it to with zero effort, has been virtually flawless and troublefree for 60k miles. My only complaint is that it’s too new and I am getting a serious hankering to modify it. I’ve been on the fence about lowering it and boosting it, both of which are probably dumb ideas. I only occasionally need a truck to haul stuff, and it’s usually local. The rest of the time, it’s sitting or used more for pleasure.
So, instead, I am thinking I’d like to get a hot rod truck that’s a bit of a beater (not show quality) that is simpler in design and less complex to work on. I already have a Jeep for when weather requires a 4x4, and I am thinking it’s be net positive $’s if I sold my current truck for a mid 60’s F-100 that I could play with more. I am talking play money here, everything has already been paid for cash and will continue to be.
Thoughts?

Following the path of least resistance to the lowest common denominator since 1961... My pronouns are “curmudgeon”, “geezer” and “I don’t give a shit what yours are”. "Designed by clowns who are in turn supervised by monkeys" doesn't apply to just Boeing
