[Oletrucks] 58-59 fleetside deluxe trim

[Gale Gorman]

I put that '04 truck on eBay the same day I found out that even the throttle linkage is another electronic module.

If the battery is low the accelerator doesn't work. Absolute nonsense to do away with a little 1/4" rod and replace it with an electronic gadget that probably costs $500 when it fails.

i agree with you, take an old truck and update it, into a daily driver
i just wish they had a little more legroom for my 6'4'' frame

Bought new stepsides through 2004 even though they no longer had a step anyone could actually use. Then I found out they discontinued the stepside in 2005 so I'll never buy another new one.
