A possible trade? lemme know your opinion
 

Okay so, I have an opportunity to maybe trade my truck (a 1983 blue lwb) for some other guy's truck, and we're going to keep the motors we have, just basically swap motors and maybe a few other parts. I want to keep my wheels and tires and possibly my grille. Anyway, mine is a 1983 custom deluxe lwb(no power locks/windows and the interior is only in decent shape because it was just a wreck when we started), and his is a 1985 Silverado swb(his has power locks and power windows). The paint on his is better, because mine is going to be painted soon, it's already in the process of being primered. Mine has dual exhaust with flowmasters, I'm not sure what his has. I would rather not go back to the stock exhaust because I don't want to pay the money to upgrade it again. Again, I don't have all the information on his truck, I'll post that here whenever I figure that out. Anyway, here are pictures of the two trucks, let me know your opinion.

Re: A possible trade? lemme know your opinion
 

I agree

Wow thats a tough one. Your lwb looks great, even in primer. The swb, well its a swb. Ive always liked em more. Tough decision sorry i cant help.

Swap, Short wheel base is cooler than long.

That's my dilemma. :(

I just don't know if I can bring myself to let my truck go... it's my first vehicle and I have already done a lot to it.

Re: A possible trade? lemme know your opinion
 

thats why im keeping my lwb and hopefully buying a roller swb i would never trade my lwb for nothing specially couse its my first vehicular

Re: A possible trade? lemme know your opinion
 

Not worth it. All yours needs is paint to be nicer then his. Can pretty much gaurentee that if you traded and he painted your truck, you would kick yourself in the ass. You love your truck, but like his. Its not going to be worth loosing that sentimental attachment. Been there. I still regret it.

x2

Finish yours and if you want a SWB down the road, buy one then.

Re: A possible trade? lemme know your opinion
 

go swb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: A possible trade? lemme know your opinion
 

keep yours. nuff said

Re: A possible trade? lemme know your opinion
 

You already know what yours needs...you DONT know what the other one needs. Keep yours. Besides a swb is like a Camaro,Mustang or tri-five Chevy....everybody has one. I mean no offense to anyone, I just prefer Long beds

Re: A possible trade? lemme know your opinion
 

Keep yours, no reason to change if it works!

Re: A possible trade? lemme know your opinion
 

I agree!

Re: A possible trade? lemme know your opinion

You only have your "first truck" once. Keep it, and add to the collection when you can.

Re: A possible trade? lemme know your opinion
 

Thanks for all the opinions guys, I think I'm going to keep my truck. I've already spent too much on it and I'm getting sort of close to being done with it. I don't want to have to redo everything that I did. Plus I'm sure I'll kick myself later if I trade my truck.

Re: A possible trade? lemme know your opinion
 

plus you can always go back and shorten your box up, if your sentimental AND want a swb
