Unhappy keep project or sell?

First let me say this is not an ad to sell my truck here, If i do decide to sell it I have no problem paying for an ad here Its kind of a one off truck and i was curious what it may be worth if i should decide to not finish it.


I have a 1969 C20 with what looks to be a holmes 440 on the back. Someone converted it to a dually. The truck is in fair shape body wise and the motor is low miles.

Someone did a disc brake swap and added power steering.

The things that are gonna be tough for me to tackle are the floorpans, someone Took off the spotlights and left the holes open to the elemnts and it rusted out most of the front of the floorpans.

I started out with alot of steam and after getting my butt kicked rebuilding the rear end I'm kinda burnt out

Just looking for thoughts, should i keep it or let her go?

Re: keep project or sell?

From the pictures the truck looks pretty good.

I understand about getting burned out. If you don't need the money, why not just put it off to side for a little while untill you get a little more money, time, and energy to get started again.

I would definitely keep it if it was mine. Does in run and drive? If it does, why not just drive it for a while and enjoy it. Of course if does run and drive, maybe you should do a couple of tow jobs for a little extra income.

If it ain't eating.... then just back away and go back to it when you have the time/energy/inclination.You obviously want it or you wouldn't have started.
