She took it. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Project1970 · 07-31-2002, 09:03 PM

For the backstory...

New news: As of yet, she'd rather have the truck than me. (Technically, she said she wanted to discuss it with her mother. But why would this decision require discussion?)

It was fun while it lasted...

Super Chevy · 07-31-2002, 09:09 PM

Project70, I hope you stay around and buy another 67-72 or atleast a nice project. Im sorry to hear about your losses and personally I think you made the right choice. Did you strip all your parts? I would and give her what you started with nothing more. I would have done the same; so dont feel that you made a bad choice.

Project1970 · 07-31-2002, 09:13 PM

It's gonna take me a few days to get all of my parts out of it (I still need to find the old points ignition to drop in it) but so far, yes, I've gotten the easier ones. The suspension and tranny are a loss, as is the paint.

I won't be buying another '67-'72 anytime soon...but I will still hang around...reason being I won't be able to find one that will make the Phoenix-Tucson run and back repeatedly and reliably for under the $3200 I have.

Right now, I'm thinking second or third gen F-body.

chevyman 68 C/10 · 07-31-2002, 09:13 PM

Man I a'm sorry to hear that. What a bummer, at least you found out where you stand.

bigvinnie · 07-31-2002, 09:41 PM

based on your story, there's no question that you made the right decision.... life is WAY too short...good luck..

Pumkin Truck · 07-31-2002, 10:09 PM

D@mn dude, I feel for ya. Everything happens for a reason. Keep your head up!

68 Suburban · 07-31-2002, 10:11 PM

Im shocked

SWINGSAX68 · 07-31-2002, 10:14 PM

Sorry to hear. Get your parts man.....don't leave em or leave this place..and even though getting another classic truck may be long way ahead, stay interested...once a Bowtie owner always a Bowtie owner. Even if you've only been one for a few months like me...

**68SWB4x4** · 07-31-2002, 10:21 PM

im sorry to hear that man, i dont really know what to say, hopefully she pulls out of whatever trip she is going through

68 Suburban · 07-31-2002, 10:23 PM

Your original post said :

Quote:

And my mom's rules involve me going to a religion I really don't want to go to

I don't want to start a whole religious debate, but I am real curious what religion this might be? If you don't feel like answering, please don't, because it is not that important, but I am real curious. I see the area that you are from and wonder if the religions starts with a "M"?

ebfabman · 07-31-2002, 10:34 PM

It would be cool if a bunch of us could donate some time and labor to build up an old truck for someone in a case like this.

Your mom is confused right now, please forgive her.

Good luck lil bro.............

CoryM · 07-31-2002, 11:07 PM

Geez, thats rough man

. Strip EVERYTHING off the truck. SInce I dont know the full situation I cant offer much advice. Sorry to hear that man.
I hope it works out man, keep trying, maybe somewhere your mother will realize its a stupid thing to do and give/sell you the truck back.
Good Luck.
CoryM

*big71* · 07-31-2002, 11:12 PM

hey that a great idea why dont we had a raffle and collect money and build a www.67-72chevytruck.com truck and give it a way to a board members between me and ebfab we colud do the body work and iam sure they are a nice motor man on here and make it one bad ass truck and have it in all the shows and get some sponsors and bulid a wicked truck

**BOSS** · 07-31-2002, 11:15 PM

Man i feel for you alot,when i got a divorce my ex tried something like that with my son.Now they are super close after 5 years of not talking.Just wanted to let you know i am personally proud of you for standing up for yourself!! please stick around and GOD Bless

**StingRay** · 07-31-2002, 11:19 PM

Has one of our members got a good solid starter truck for this kid that can cut him a deal. If so I'll find a few bucks to throw into the pot. Anybody else got a months worth of beer money to sacrifice to a good cause?

Blue_71 · 07-31-2002, 11:23 PM

i feel sorry for you man, luckily if anythign ever happens liek that to me, the 4x4 is in my name and the 2wd is in my dads.. and i know my dad wouldnt pull that kind of stuff on me.

btw, if yall are serious about this raffle build a truck deal, i coudl do the interior

EXAMPLE:

Sinister · 07-31-2002, 11:29 PM

that completely sucks, i'd never speal that b%tch again...
hang in there something will come your way...

Sevans327 · 07-31-2002, 11:42 PM

Just out of curiosity is she very religious, or just using that as an excuse to justify taking the truck away? Parents can be a real pain in the butt sometimes. Why would anyone force there kids to go on a mission for two years is beyond me. I think you should encourage them, but force them no way. It's to bad it's always the kids that get hurt the most in a divorce. I think I some what know what your going through. maybe you should have a chat with the bishop and have her explain in front of him what's going on! I don't know the whole situation but there has to be a better solution or compromise. Good luck and if you need someone to talk to email me.

busterwivell · 08-01-2002, 12:04 AM

I have a friend in Tucson with a Longbed in primer for sale that needs an engine. Interested? I'll call and get more info if you are.

My exact thoughts, also.

nroden · 08-01-2002, 12:25 AM

Sorry to hear that. What you should do is get a cheaper car (good gas mileage) and save up your money.. that way you can build up an ever better truck about 10 years from now. Stay interested and keep comin to the board.

devinfife · 08-01-2002, 12:33 AM

man i feel for ya. im mormon and im not going on a mission. most board members dont know the pressure the church creates to make all 19 year old kids go on missions. youre brave to defy your mom. just tell the bishop and he'll help straighten things out good luck.

devin

68 Suburban · 08-01-2002, 12:40 AM

devinfife, has he actually said he is Mormon? Given the area he is from, I thought that is what it might be. Especially at his age where he would be expected to go on his mission. But I have not seen him actually say that is the religion.

Brad · 08-01-2002, 12:45 AM

Yep, you did the right thing. I wish things had turn out better for ya. I hope you can save the parts and the $$$ you've saved.

68 Suburban · 08-01-2002, 12:57 AM

There are deals on trucks around Phx, just keep your eyes open for them
