I'm getting to the point, where I'd love to see someone (or group) with a bunch of money, start getting old (but in great condition) frames and rebuilding quality older vehicles with new car warranties. All brand new parts. Offer them for half the price of what a new car is.

Order it online with your specs and get it shipped to your house.

Really put these motherfuckers in their place.

Tired of hearing EV and hydrogen... our country is in a state of a fucking mess and we want to change our transportation infrastructure? Let's focus on fixing everything else around, before this shit.

For the past few years I have thought about (more like dreamed about) picking up 60s or 70s truck with a good frame with no rot, and going thru it front to back, top to bottom. 4 speed or rebuild the automatic, bad engine?... fine, rebuild, or better yet drop in a kick ass crate. Have a dependable new-old truck with all the amenities ... like roll up windows (o:

Thing is, the way todays prices are, unless one can DIY it could/would be damn spendy.

I have a truck that will be 25 years old next year. I want to repower it. Cab and frame is showroom condition. Never got driven in a NY winter.

In NYS, anything older than 25 years, only NYS Safety Inspection. No more emissions. So that means I can drop whatever the heck polluting engine I want into it.

"Survival minded" folks have been doing this for a long time....gotta look down South and out West: there are guys using square body Chevy's and Dent Side Fords as Daily Drivers out there.
Even my OBS Ford F250 has the 300 Six that I can put a Points Distributor and Carbonated (LPG/NG) Carb on.
Small Block Chevy's, Fords, Mopars were made in the millions, and most can be retro-fitted to simpler systems pretty easily provided you squirreled away the parts.

One day I want to have a Still where I can make alcohol to use as fuel: and while most everything can run on it, it does require more fuel, and makes less power than gasoline or even LP/NG, but it's better than walking or hitching a Mule. CORROSION is the other BIG problem with ETOH: Plastics and stainless steel are a must, draining the carb is a must or you will be sorry...just like running ocean water through your boat motor and not flushing it afterwards.
You mentioned "repowering" We had Baggage Belt-Loaders on the Airfield that used 4 cylinder Perkins Diesels and Ford C6 Transmissions, and Dana 60 Axles: that setup would be the cats-ass for a pickup truck or Jeep type vehicle...not necessarily fast, but it would pull and be reliable.
