Should I Let My Wife Have It! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dwaite72lnghrn · 01-14-2005, 08:15 PM

My wife is looking out the window every day and said I like that GMC I think it should be mine.

I still have some work to do on it if it ever dries up around here. I think I got the wiring done lots of splices and fusible links bad. Now just have to do the front brake lines.
Should I move it out of sight so she won't see it every day?
OR let HER HAVE IT and get a new 1

Jeanne deserves it if anyone does

*Randy70C-10* · 01-14-2005, 08:39 PM

De sha vu.....the stepside is Cathy's....of course I did have to go out and buy another.

dwaite72lnghrn · 01-14-2005, 08:40 PM

I really think I should move it. You know how addictions can be. Some people just can't control themselves.

***Liz*** · 01-14-2005, 08:44 PM

ya but shes cool as hell n your lucky to have her

so give her the truck dangit! ( this in no way is meant to put you down either

)

big blue 72 · 01-14-2005, 09:12 PM

Dave , you know that Jeanne wants a truck of her own.
Yer gonna lose it to her anyway!

CPNEJR · 01-14-2005, 09:18 PM

you should buy another and give the new one to her so you can keep that one and she can a new one

Blue Beard · 01-14-2005, 09:25 PM

Could be worth it ...... consider you might want something else

dwaite72lnghrn · 01-14-2005, 09:34 PM

Thereis a nice 71 GMC in colorado but it would be about $1300 in gas to pick it up. Although I could sell the utility bed and recoop some of the gas cost.

**jamie72** · 01-14-2005, 11:02 PM

let her have it..you know it will go to a good home

you`ll find another one in better shape, better body, more exspensive and will want it, just tell her well i gave you my other one now i got to replace it.

good luck either way.

Super Duck · 01-14-2005, 11:06 PM

give it to her and build a new one. a wife that is interested in the same thing you are is a great thing. my wife said she wants me to build her a 678 ext cab so guess what, she gets one. hers will be later though, I dont have enough shop space to have two cabs cut apart right now.

Longhorn Man · 01-15-2005, 01:54 AM

Be happy she ain't drooling over the Longhorn.

I have to agree with some of the comments, your wife seems liek a wonderfull suportive woman...give her the truck and you can look for a big block replacement.

Best of both worlds.

Brainchild · 01-15-2005, 02:22 AM

Let her have it.It'll have a good home,and you'll never get to drive it,or be able to say it's yours.But on the bright side you'll still get to work on it:p

j/k

If you can find one you like better,and in better shape.I'd give it to her.

Warbones · 01-15-2005, 02:36 AM

I'd be thrilled if my wife would take an interest in one. I'll be looking for a 4x4 soon. Maybe by then.

Super Duck · 01-15-2005, 04:21 AM

hey warbones just do like I did and show her the photoshoped ext cab. mine wasent interested untill then.

GMC AMI · 01-15-2005, 07:24 AM

Let her take the truck on a 800 mile round trip and she will really BOND to the truck and it will be hers forever. Then just buy another one since they made over 3 million of these wonderful American icons. Just maybe you will buy a couple more since they are extremely addictive.

SLS · 01-15-2005, 09:00 AM

Be glad she wants that one!

My wife spotted a 59 Stepside the other day ("It's so cute! It's got potential!...I want it!")......

So I pull over to check it out....and it's rusted so bad that if you try to open the doors all the way.....the hinges will pull right out of the jambs... :cry:

So go ahead and give your wife that one.....before she finds another 'nice' one like my wife did. LOL!

70 shorty · 01-15-2005, 06:01 PM

Sounds to me like you have the perfect excuse to go out and buy another truck. What are you waiting for?

Americanrider · 01-15-2005, 06:24 PM

Let her have it.... but only if she helps you fix it up!
