Yep. Just because something is only designed for a certain number of digits doesn’t necessarily mean there’s going to be a huge problem. Remember the Y2K “disaster”? (Besides, the Mayan calendar uses the perpetual model; all 12/21/2012 will do is see the end of the thirteenth b’ak’tun since the calendar’s zero point. 12/22/2012 will be the first day of the fourteenth b’ak’tun. According to archaeologists, the Maya celebrated the end of a cycle… after all, they’d lived long enough to see it!)
Most of the wear out parts for a 64 Dodge are readily available aftermarket at your friendly auto parts store. Body dings and missing chrome do not keep the truck from running….. If and when it is in an accident, I am sure that there is a wrecking yard with what you need.
Those items get expensive when you want to “restore” back to “show room”, or the vehicle is pre WWII, or commonly called a “classic”.

I guess it means if the truck odometer rolls over and still works – so will the Mayan calendar!

Yep, still have my 1964 Dodge D200. Why buy another when it still works just fine.

Remember when we were worried about Y2-K?
