dilemma

Nice dilemma, but I think you let your son off a little too easy. Perhaps he should join in on the fun, redoing the '65 and in return he gets your '04. It will be an experience he or you will never forget.

Don't "spoil" your kid. Tell him "This is your truck, now grab a wrench and get to work."

That's what I was trying to convey, but I like the way you said it better. I agree.

Yeah- but then you may end up with a craigslist ad like this:http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...561402462.html

I think having him "buy" the silverado with elbow grease payments may be a good idea.

that guy is totally clueless that his dads trucks value is waaaay higher than those he wants to trade for. As for bbc and static drop, the motor is heavy but not to the point of drastic difference in spring height. I had a 454 with 1.5 coils cut off the stock springs and it sat just right!

I kind of went through a similar situation with my 17 year old, I spent 2 years building a very nice 240Z for him and he drove it for 6 months and then wanted to sell it so he could buy some low rider Jap truck.

I took the Z back and bought him a beater datsun truck that looked and ran like crap and told him to get a job and fix it up himself

I am currently building a 1960 Chevy pickup for my 12 year old to drive when he is old enough, hope he appreciates it.
