Dont think the farmers around here have ever heard that.Haha you're funny Al. Today's trucks will work circles around trucks of yesteryear.
I wouldn't buy a car at auction. Unless it was fully documented and restored buy a quality restoration shop ... not gas monkey garageI was turned off of the muscle car bug when I watched a bunch of really questionable cars on the Barrett-Jackson auction show. I followed that for a bit and saw lots of lip-sticked pigs go through for utterly ridiculous money. A local guy bought an 80,000 dollar superbird there that was a piece of junk. Silly man.
Got a couple for your ya this one sold for 48kOne day I would like to buy an upgraded old pickup. I would pay lots for that.

Nothing is cheap now
The one for 48k maybe . You could not build one for that much the crate engine alone is between 6500 to 10k depending on optionswould YOU pay that much for those?
I guess living in the silicon valley you done see many old farm trucks pulling heavy all summer. I live where there are more cows than people and most of the farms use older trucks pre 1990.I never said an old truck couldn't work. But, if you put those identical loads in those old rigs and also new trucks and pulled them over the Sierra Nevada range through Donner Pass from Sacramento to Reno there would be absolutely no comparison in time, effort, or safety. Hell, my 99 F250 Powerstroke with 300,000 miles that I put on it will outwork those old trucks, but not come anywhere near the performance of a new truck.
Frankly, I'm not sure either truck shown would survive the trip in the heat of summer.
