Besides all of the above, there was actually a time when cars didn’t all have air conditioning, power windows and locks, and/or remote entry key fobs with alarms.

I just bought a truck with none of that stuff. A Unimog.

We got electricity and running water and phone (12 party line) when I was 6.

Got electricity at the one room school I went to when I was 7, running water when I was 10, the selectmen never did waste taxpayer money on a phone in the school.

I still DRIVE a truck without all that stuff - The newest pickup I have ever owned is a 78 Chevy... And it's my daily driver for now, till I get the minivan fixed. If I get a 'next truck', I will probably relent and cross the line into a mid-80's 1T heavy 4x4, Mostly for the convenience of taller gears and over-drive already installed. But IF I do, I'll die with that truck, because once restored, it will last that long.

All y'all have lost your minds, and you don't even know it. Who needs butt warmers and electric windows in a pickup truck? *shakes head*... Pickups are made to WORK. And simple things don't break.
