Missed opportunity's....

[Heavy Evy]

Lately I have noticed alot of burb activity going on in my area of the country and I got to thinking about a missed opprtunity I kick myself about alot. When I was 14(9 years ago)me and my pops had the chance to get a 67' C10burb for 500bucks now, I know that sounds too good to be true but it was a hell of a deal. The rig had buckets but the back and 3rd seat were gone it had the original 250 or 235 6 can't remember the exact size and 3 speed on the floor and stock steelies . There was no rust and it was straight as could be but it was ugly as hell. The previous owner had rhinolined the whole thing with a glittery silver color but it was an awsome truck and I wish I would have got it back then. I try to live my life with no regrets but everyone has them and that is one of my big ones. I was planning on building a shortbed after I get my nova done but in light of recent events and the fact that everyone and there dog is building shortbeds I vow I will build a 67-72 burb and cruise the hell out of it. Thanks for reading and keep on trucking.

That's kinda funny, when I was in high school there was a guy down the street who had an ochre and white 72 with a white interior, small block auto and no rust that I could see. The guy wanted $1000.00 and up here that is dirt cheap. But I had just bought my shortbox and was unable to come up with the money. 2 weeks later it was gone, I never saw it again.

I know how you feel. I hope billsbowtie doesn't mind me telling this story, but it will follow me forever. There was a 68 burb over in East TN for sale for 300.00 that I was ready to leave the next morning to pick up. It had everything except the motor and tranny. My wife's van started acting up and I took it as a sign not to get it. It's the same burb that Bill bought soon after and parted out. I feel sick even talking about it because now I'm REALLY looking for one.

oh man nothings worse then wanting a rig so bad but you can't get to it then to find out when you can its been sold and parted out. i love these trucks too much and could never part one out i grow to attached haha
