I've owned my truck for 33 years (since I was 17). I bet I will have over 30 in the build when it is all completed. I love the truck. My first vehicle. I have two boys that don't seem interested in it. I've told them both that should it become a burden after I am gone to sell it. I hope that one, or both, of them will enjoy it at some point like I do. I just don't want it to be a burden to store and keep just because it was mine. Sounds like what is happening here. Sounds sad, but I had to spend a lot of money and jump a lot of hoops to keep this truck for so long. Hope the one posted finds a good home.
