Whoa, I'd have to think twice about that offer...naw I wouldn't sell her either. Your 69 chevy truck sure does look sweet though!

Heck yes, I'd sell it and throw in the family dog too!. Someone once told me:
"...its a chevy truck, they made over a million of these things" ...and the shelters are full of dogs. For 20K you can make a lot more memories

Sell it. Build another one.
...but if it's a one-owner no way in hell I'd sell it. It will be worth way more than $20k in a couple of decades...

I would have to think about sellingl my truck when it's done for $20,000 that would be the least I would take. I need more important things like a house. I am going to put a real nice "For Sale" sitcker in the back window.

Well, I will ask this; was this your first vehicle, or maybe this is where you learned the way of the women. Trust me I feel the same way, I wouldn’t sell my 67 for nothing, too many nice memories...if you get my drift. I have had many people ask me if I would sell my 67, I’ve even had police officers pull me over just to ask me if I would sell her, I always tell everyone the same thing I love this truck too much and all of the memories she has given me...even for a large sum of money (to me money is not everything).

When I was driving my Camaro regularly I would get lots of people asking me if it was for sale. I got really sick of saying no! She's a part of me and has alot of sentimental value. I don't care how much someone would offer!

Recently a freind offered my 2500 for my truck.That isn't much.But the motor is blown up.(Ordering new crank and starting rebuild next month)And I only paid 1650 for it in the first place.He thought I was crazy for not taking it.I told him it wasn't for sale.And that's all there was to it.I gaurantee I wouldn't sell that truck for any amount of money.(Unless it was something crazy)
The one summer I had that truck I had alot good times in that truck.Including a few with the ladies...And for some reason it is always better when I am in that truck.I love that thing!Hoping to get it running again by summer so I can make many more memories... Love your truck btw.Mine's a 69 LWB to.With the same wheels.Mine's white though. What drop is on that frontend?

Early classics disc conversion with 2.5 drop spindles, but it also has a 454 in the front, so in total i'd say that there is about 3.5 in the front, when the snow melts the back's getting dropped 4 inches to get rid of the big rake, as it right now the rearview mirrors are completley useless cuz the back sits so high.
