To Bad cars From The 80's Are Throw Away POS! The Main Reason You Dont See Any Cars From The 80's On US Highways! 100,000 Miles And They Are Garbage! I Certainly Have Killed My Fair Share When I Was Driving 300 Miles Every Day At Work! Trucks Did A Little Better But All Of The SMOG Crap That Was New Tech Is FLAWED! Great Video! I Would Like To Put New Seats In My 51 Chevy Pick-up But Since It is All Original I Wont Be Doing That!

I think the 1980s is when consumerism started pushing automakers to planned obsolescence. Your 1951 Chevy was before that and made to last. That thing will outlast the both of us! Thanks for the kind words

@@bernietime Yep! It Has Already Outlasted My Grandpa And My Dad And Will Most Likely Out Last Me! I Will Say That I Had The Wooden Bed Replaced About 15 Years Ago Along With The Bottom Corners Of The Cab! But It Was Done With Sheet Metal And After It Was Painted You Cant See Where They Patched It! The Craziest Thing Is The Drive Shaft Is Enclosed So There Are No U Joints That Are Getting Water And Grit In Them To Fail!! It Is All Original Except The Electrical System is 12 Volts Instead of 6Volts So I Could Mount An 8 Track Tape Player In It Back In The 80's! You Can Stand A Nickle On Its End On The Breather While It Runs!
