Thinking of selling and starting over - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cochino12 · 08-23-2005, 12:36 AM

I have been contemplating selling my '85 and getting a '73-75 2wd blazer. I REALLY dont want to get rid of my truck but i dont have room at my house for another truck. I finally got my truck pretty much done, except for maybe bags and a supercharger but it's pretty well complete. I get jealous of you guys making progress on your projects and I have nothing left to work on really.

How could I think of getting rid of my truck though? I have a lot time in it and would hate to see it go. Do you guys with trucks that have been done for a while ever feel like this? Of course I couldnt get anywhere near the $$ I would need out of selling it, so I guess that might make my decision easier huh? Anyway sorry for the tangent.

you never get out what you put in. Once you can get over that, you will be better off. I say sell it. Driving around with the top off rules. Plus the best part of having a project is working on it.

If I understand you right the only reason you are thinking of selling your truck is because you have it fixed up the way you want and have nothing else that you can do to it? I say, Now-ENJOY IT!! Come over and I will let you work on mine.

I think you will (maby) regret it if you do say:

yep, I guess i miss looking for parts, planning what work I was going to be able to do next weekend, and just the satisfaction of standing back and looking at what I did that day. Now all I do is buy rear tires aha ha

. dont get me wrong it's great to be done/almost with a project I guess I just need to rent a garage so I can work on something again. I cant even buy any more tools because I have nothing to use them on ha ha h ah.
