2wd, its all red and white now

If the 4x4 is done, and you don't have a huge emotional attachment to it, then sell it. Use the $ to fix up the 2wd...

OK, here is a GREAT idea! Sell them both and buy my Panel. I'll deliver it in a couple of weeks when I move to Lexington!

Hehe..

If those were mine I wouldn't get rid of them. You could seel them, but what would you get that could be better than those?:bowtie:

meathead95 11-07-2002 08:54 AM

sell them and buy tennman's truck :D

yellowgmc 11-07-2002 09:24 AM

why split your resources. sell one or the other and drive one really nice truck! flip a coin. best descision maker around!

dubie 11-07-2002 10:29 AM

I would sell them!!! And then I would go find a sweet azz 67-72 shorty 4x4!!!

Longhorn Man 11-08-2002 01:45 AM

Jsoh, you only have what...about 2000 into the 4X4, right?
Sell it. Then get a better truck, or fund the 2 wheel drive.

Hooter 11-08-2002 03:40 AM

Hold on to them for another 5 years. Me thinks the price will be going up quite a bit for 67-72 when all the 61-66's run out

bobs409 11-08-2002 09:17 AM

I voted to keep both or you'll regret it. These trucks will one day soon be hard to find.

The fact that your asking us whether to sell or not tells me you really don't want to sell. Don't let the money make the decision for you. You know how long money lasts don't you? How will you feel when you've spent all that money and no longer have your beloved truck(s)?

I look at it this way...they are paid for and you obviously care for these trucks. Keep 'em. :D

BTW, I think that last offer is a joke. You have to build up a 350 and install and then you get $1700? After the cost of rebuilding the engine, how much are you actually getting for the truck itself? Maybe the guy would like new paint too? :p

Sell the 4x4 and fixup the 2wd. My first truck was a 2wd 69 c-10.
Bought it from the original owner. ended up selling ti and have regretted it ever since. I just think of all the money I've put into vehicles, if I put half that amount into my first truck I would have one *****in truck right now.

wnc mountain 11-08-2002 11:09 AM

I agree totally with bobs409 on this one!

Sell:barf:

Keep:D

teeitup 11-08-2002 06:37 PM

sell the 2wd, 4x4's are harder to find atleast around here they are!:D

Blue_71 11-08-2002 10:08 PM

andy-- try closer to 3000 :whine:
bobs409-- believe it or not, i can build the motor for $200, lol.. i bought the whole bottem end for $10, and it DOES have new paint.. but after motor and what ive got in the truck id be making about uum $500 on it. also, your right, i dont really want to sell them but man that could buy a heck of a finished truck... but then again im so close now i could probably sell all the junk i dont need and fund them, lol

thansk for your opinions guys. i think im going to keep them, because if i added in self labor ive probably got more then that in them anyways, hehe

GMC71k20 11-09-2002 01:24 AM

hang on to both of them and keep dumping money into them. eventually theyd both be nice and have more pride in them than any finished truck
