What would you do, or: Am I crazy for considering trading my '72 K10 Super?

Am I nuts? Wild hare or sensible thinking?

I've owned my '72 K10 Super for over four years. Put a ton of sweat and cash into it, and it's in the condition I want mechanically and cosmetically. Super solid mechanically, looks good but not so good I am afraid to drive it. I love this truck.

BUT... I also kind of want a faster and better-handling vehicle. And the K10 is somewhat redundant with my other vehicle, also a 4x4. I've always loved late '60s/early '70s muscle cars, but I can't afford those. And I can't afford or garage more than one "fun" vehicle, I'm lucky to have the ability to even do that!

So I thought: What about trading the K10 for a 67-72 2WD that is "sportier"? SWB, maybe slightly lowered, maybe LS-swapped or with a Tremec? Keeps me in the family, but is a completely different driving experience.

What would you do?
