Mixed emotions tonight.

We recently decided to put our house here in CA on the market and relocate to the Pacific Northwest. Part of that relocation plan involved using the Sled to tow Shorty via car trailer up there. Needless to say, I had an epic amount of work ahead of me. Not only did I have to finish this truck by October, it had to be solid enough to make the 1,000 mile journey to our new home. As if that wasn't enough pressure, I'm already in the middle of a TBI swap on Shorty, and I still have to wrap up all the little projects that never seemed to get done so we can get our house on the market.

The stress of it all was starting to get to me. I have decided to take a SIGNIFICANT amount of it off my plate, by abandoning the Sled and buying a complete truck, swapping my suspension over, and salvaging/selling off what I can. Sucks. I really wanted to get this truck done, but I just don't see it happening.

I've narrowed it down between two, low mileage C30s; one '87 and one '88; both under $4k (there's no way I could finish the Sled for less than that). Hopefully I'll be able to strike a deal on one of them tomorrow and post pics of the new tow rig.
