Going to Iraq...Keep or sell my truck?

[woodman13]

I leave in 3 weeks for a 12-15 month Iraq tour! Sell or store my truck?

As some of you may know I have a few trucks, I recently bought a 1971 BBC SWB C10 that was an older restomod.

It has a 1970 454 that is basically stock with HEI, 4 BBL and T400 trans. It was from AZ and is for the most part in good shape. It needs the following things as I see it;

rear cab supports are alittle rusty
it has car headers on it (I have BBC manifolds ordered)
No exhaust and a small oil leak from the PS system
It has Vintage Air system with all the underhood stuff missing(compressor, condensor, dryer, hoses)
PS fender, hood and grill are dented (not bad, but bad enough to replace)
needs paint

The good:

Mainly no body rust except rear cab supports
Vintage Air system (needs the upgrade for $689 shipped from Vintage Air.)
Redone interior (dash, door panels) good seat and carpet
I have a usable 67 front clip to install
Newer stepside bed
Disk front brakes


I always wanted a BBC SWB and this one is decent compaired to alot that I see on here for the same money. I have a shop I can store it in while I am gone and I could slowly buy the parts it needs while I am in Iraq to make it like I want.

I want a dropped/bagged truck that runs good and can hold it own at local shows and was relativly cheap!

LMK what you think!
