thinking of selling my truck

well my mind is doing circles around this for a little while and i can't figure out what to do. basically my truck is a money pit. its not that is breaks down, because it dosent, but there is always something i want to do to it. i know as long as i have it i am going to continue sinking money into it, i simply cannot stop. i'm not in debt but pretty much all the extra cash that i have left over from my paychecks always goes into it.

if i do sell it it won't be until this spring and i can't figure out what the best way to do it would be. should i leave it as it sits? should i go ahead and put the 12 bolt with posi in it and tires so it will be good at the track? would that help me get more money out of it. i have ALOT of money in the motor i just put in it so i wonder if i would get more if i pulled it and got a cheap 350 long block to put in it and sold the motor seperately. i just really can't decide what i should do. i know theres no way i will get out of it any where close to what i have in it, but i'm sure as hell not gonna give it away.

i'm not 100% set on selling it ubt being in college and we sold our house in dallas so i'm now garageless, although i can use my buddies if i need to. it just seems like mabey the best thing for me would be to get a clean new(er) car that i could make into just a nice drive around cruzier, stereo, mabey even something with a/c lol, now that would be a treat. and then return to my hotrodding when i get out of school and can afford to build what i really want and have more than one vehicle.

as you can tell by the lenght of my post i'm really confused on what i should do right now
