The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - Difficult decision of whether or not to sell

I've been a long time 67-72 truck fan and am on my third one as we speak. Right now I'm unemployed, have a bad back, in college full time and have a family with a 10 month old daughter. Not being very mechanically gifted I purchased a pretty decently equipped 67 that was one family owner. I tried working on it when I could, or when my back would allow, and I am just out of money and time to continue to do much of anything with it.

I've had the truck close to 4 years and have maybe put 150 miles on it. I have since replaced all ball joints, rods, pitman as well as put a power front disc break setup, new rims and tires, lowering kit. I've also replaced the fuel pump, Carb, Intake Manifold, Valve Covers, Windshield Seal and had the TH400 rebuilt, as well as other small things.

I feel I've spent too much money on it to just give it away, considering how great of shape the body is in, to just up and sell it. But, not driving it as long as I have and not really being a family accessible vehicle is not leaving my wife too happy.

What would you guys do?
