Is it Worth the Effort

[rcazwillis]

I need honest opinions, not passionate ones about the vehicle. In 1985, my birthday gift was a green and white 1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne Super, big block, leaf spring rear, tool box in bed on passenger side. Currently, the truck sits on the back of my parents business lot in disrepair. It has been there for about 20 years.

Current condition is what you would expect. Rust in the typical spots for the cab, right rear quarter panel has collision damage, engine and tranny are gone, etc. I do have a complete bed to replace the damaged bed parts, but this would remove the tool box, that never latched or worked properly.

As you can imagine, I have a soft spot for the vehicle. Had lots of fun through high school and college and years after. My current ride is a King Ranch F250, tuned etc, so I don't need another pickup. Ignoring emotion, is this something that I should save or sell? If I save it, restoration needs to be done, but the finances behind it probably don't make sense.

I have no pictures, yes I know that would help, but it is 350 miles away at the moment. Thoughts.
