Probably due to rising costs for restoration, storage, insurance, part availability along with the fact that starter trucks now are rougher, harder to find, requiring more work, even fairly decent trucks are getting more pricy. Kids today, few have an interest in older vehicles, gas prices being what they are, and unless they had involvement in maintaining or learning how to work on vehicles, just don't want the difficulty of trying to learn to do it. The high school I went to in my town during the late 60's no longer teaches auto shop. I'm not even sure they teach welding anymore, so without some of these skills, it's a hard road to restore something and do it right.
