The good, the bad, and the F*** - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So Tuesday I ended the search for my new car/truck. At first I thought I was going to have to sell the 75 to help pay for something. But things turned out ok (upsides and downsides)

So the good news is I get to keep the C-10, and will still be working on it atleast untill it is prepped and my friend paints it early next year. Then I have to try to recoup some of the price of this new truck :\ It was fun while it lasted.

The bad is that it will be going on non-op untill then since insurance for me driving two vehicles is a bit much, expecially since my new truck is going down as a Hi-Performance vehicle. But I will be able to get alot more done not having to worry about being able to drive it at the end of the day.

And now for the F***. I was originally looking for a 67-72 truck, when I found a little post on craigslist. Well one thing led to another. My search ended with a 95 F*** Lightning. The truck was too clean, and the price was right, but what made me break was the handling of this truck.

Now I know... Its a F*** but I couldn't pass this one up. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!

Just wanted to let you know that I will be sticking around here for some time still. I appreciate all of the help I get from you guys/gals on here. The information on this forum is priceless.

Thanks for everything,
Jared

Haha. Yeah. It was too good to pass up. I am just glad that it worked out so I could still work (even if I can't drive it) on the C-10. Maybe at the end of this I could just sell the F*** and keep the C-10 if it comes out how I want.

Keep the 75, you will need something to pull the Phord when it breaks for no apparent reason. This one should look familiar to you.. Although its a 92, there is no info on them and OBDII wont help. Not sure if the Phord is worth getting running again, maybe I should part it instead.
