Jelly i will say that the cars of the past were much easier to work on, they are by far the easiest to keep running for a lifetime, but.. Here in the north east those cars rotted to no end because they were not galvanized like they are today. they did not use a zinc ion dip on the uni-body and they would rot to no end. So maybe the 32+ people on here who agree with you live in a place like az where rust isnt an issue.

Yeah someone gave me an Eastern 39 Chevy and its rusted to pieces all over Would take me 10 years to take off all the rust. In fact, I don't even want to phuck with cars anymore, I'm going to a motorbike, so much less to rust on and a snap to work on, and you can park it indoors. My Honda Rebel is 1000x easier to work on than my 39 Chevy, its all out in the open, cheap parts, easy to clean, and its a study in minimalist design. Making these old trucks out of steel was a bad idea.
