I am honestly going to pay off my house finish the land scaping and put in a pool. I will not be building the 40 for a few years. I just dont want to spend the money. I will enjoy Tootsie for a few years and maybe then I will build again. Just have to wait and see. I would consider building a truck for someone else but not for myself. Just to expensive to keep building.

Congrats on the article. I have not posted on this one yet, but have looked in on the build from time to time. Love your motivation behind this build. Sad to hear your going to stop for a while, but understand your other priorities. Hope you hold onto this one longer then the last couple...

I will this one means something to me. Not saying I would not sell it if someone offered me big money for it but not really wanting to sell it. I do have the truck bug but my priorities have changed.;)

Congrats in the article in Streetrucks, read it yesterday when I got mine. Firewall looks amazing, I love it. Should tie in very nicely with the bed.

Can't see you sitting still more than a month or two. You're just too active to just shut it down cold turkey:)

Exactly how I felt after we finished mine. I am at a point where I just want to drive it enjoy and improve it but not start from scratch. I have been toying with the idea of getting a 68c10 just because the year I was born, but I dont want a project I want a good base that we can improve on. I am hoping I could find one like your black one but it has to be a 68. This is one of those things that I dont need I just want :lol: If your black one that you sold would had been a 68 that truck would be in South florida.

Ya I feel like I have done enough for a few years. Not walking away from building just taking some time off. I have three small children and they are what is important to me. So I want to put in a pool and I cant do both. So the building needs to stop.;)
