Why do I put up with old trucks..

[oldblue1968chevy]

Truck is really getting old. I have hardly driven it since may. I will be 18 this thursday. Its my DD Im a senior in Hs. Its always something!! Between the fact its old and I always wanna tinker and try to improve it, its quite un reliable (me tinkering doenst help)

Sorry for beeching at everyone but im in the process of a motor swap right, well everytime I go to do something either i cant get myself motivated, or we do start it ON BREAK IN and its leaking gas from the fuel line going to carb. (compression fitting, dad says there only good for so many off ons) or its an exhaust leak..and now the bendix on the starter hangs just making me mad I wannaput it together and roll it to the side of the road and sell it to a mexican or something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Between the fact that I dont really know what im doing and most around here dont know much more than I do..doesnt help either thank you for helping though

Im not trying to make a racist comment but they usually buy all the old trucks for work/nursery trucks..

Its just making me mad I just wish I never found this website, it made me wanna fix this truck up....heres my backround pic, im trying to get motivated, this is right before the motor swap after a bath
