Re: Would you trade your glamour truck for a brand new Chevy?
No, and I need a new or newer truck to work out of badly. But I'll suffer without before letting my '72 go for a new one. You need something to drive while the new one is in for warranty work And unless you keep getting new trucks the new one you bought today will need work at some point that you can't perform or takes thousands to have repaired. So always need that oldie to fall back on. Been there done that.
Many years ago ('90s) when my place was full of 67-72 trucks sitting around, all running and registered, I had a friend say, "You know if you sold all these old trucks you could buy a new one straight out". My simple reply was, "Why would I want to do that?". I had a C/20 camper rig, a C/30 utility body, a couple Blazers, three K/20s, a big block SWB C/10, a Suburban, and a SWB K/10. I also had a '90 350/4spd Blazer (wife's) and an '84 K30 diesel.
