Originality vs modification

[Gordon Maney]

I am seeking opinion from Dodge enthusiasts. I would like to run one — or multiple — point/counterpoint articles covering two alternative views. One view is that which emphasizes the authentic, original truck. The other view endorses the modified truck.

A case can be made for either approach. One segment of our population is very dedicated to historical accuracy and originality. Another segment of our population is very enthusiastic about functional modifications that enhance performance and safety. I am seeking individuals to make a choice and present their opinion to be published in Power Wagon Advertiser magazine.

Please email your thoughtful response to b1pw1948@earthlink.net, or type or write it on paper and send it to me in the US mail. Power wagon advertiser, 3090 Benton Iowa Rd., Norway, IA 52318.

There is no limit on length. Photos are welcome.

I am also seeking articles on project trucks, historical details, modifications, mechanical repairs, and other subjects related to all-wheel-drive Dodge trucks. Contact me at the email address or mailing address shown above for questions or information.

Thank you for your input…

Unfair!!

I find this topic biased and offensive to those of us that are firmly rooted on both sides of the question. As a middle of the road extremist I find the question insensitive. Those of us who dither between original and modified are, or at least should be outraged at this callous lack understanding.
:-D
It's nice to get worked up over something now and again.

It's a cool topic for discussion, I'm kind of curious how you plan to do point , counterpoint via printed media.
I call dibs on the phrase "Jane you ignorant slut!"

That's what I was going for Gordon. PC & moral outrage for breakfast.

This may be about original modifications or even modified originals. Either way I'll be on the fence with Bob,,our boots tend to have less cow patty residue that way! LOL!
