Since I sold my truck, I've been driving around in my imagination, so every trip is absolutely perfect.  And, there's no maintenance or repairs!  What more could you ask for?

OG Star Wars FTW Harmy's Despecialized versions are a great way to watch the unclucked versions. I remember going to see the re-releases and being like, why? Then the prequels and feeling like my life's blood had been drained. Now the Disney era...

It's like our trucks, they got it right for a certain period of time and can never do better.

Here comes the pollen, I've been driving mighty whitey (my patina truck) because the weather here has been crap.

The time of the year does not matter to me. I drive my truck 2-3 times a week unless of course it is icy.

Are the housings flat across the front or curved like the H6024?

Wow, those are some nice bright lights in the you tube video on your original post. I have the original factory lamps and they are like a flashlight with bad batteries, dim and yellow. Though I wish ALL vehicles were still like lamps from the 70's because my eyes are sensitive to bright light. I think modern auto headlights are WAY to bright. Anyway, I may be getting some of those Hella's. Thanks...

Lots of lights are too bright because people put LEDs into bad housings with no cutoff.  They are essentially driving around with LED Flood lights which is wrong to do.

Not flat but not quite as curved as the 6024 bulb.  halfway in between but the glass is amazingly clearer.

That isn't normal for a 1975 vintage truck.  Serpentine belts came on ca 1985 (?) and later vehicles to drive the alternator and water pump.  The one imaged below may work, but is machined from aluminum making it pricey: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mch-4021-08/make/chevrolet.  In addition, a reviewer said it is smaller than the OEM pulley, although the manufacturer claims otherwise.  With a little leg work and Internet searches you might find other brands that are steel and less expensive.

Why does my truck seem to have a different style crank pulley? It seems to have a serpentine style belt in the front and two v style slots is this normal?

Thank you
