This is something to think about.. I would still like to drive it some this summer...

if you are in a position to keep it, i say do so. you can sell a nice 4x4 shortbed any time. or a truck with a slick black paint job any time. i think i would drive it and love it for a bit anyway.

i get sort of offers on my jeep a lot, and have considered selling it too, but when it comes down to it, i just cant!

I don't need to sell it, I just hate seeing it sit there and being afraid to park it in the parking garage at work... I could use the money to fund future projects.. I am not going to give it away.. I knew early on in the project that I would never get what I have in it back.. I would like to at least get a fair market value for it... whatever that might be...

Very nice work on the shackle mount. You made it look easy...

Mark,

When I finished my 71 C20 Longhorn, I got offers quite regularly and I thought about selling. But when it came time to hand over the money the buyers failed to produce.

I finished my truck in 2000 and I now have 50,000 miles on it. I did a complete restore and powder coated the frame and suspension pieces. I have a blown 350 and 4l80e. I really enjoy my truck and drive it a lot. I am starting a second build on a 71 K10 but will be doing a trophy truck build on it.

Just remember the first scratch is the worst. After that it is all down hill and just accept it.

Thanks Ryan... I agree on your statement about the buyers.. I think it is difficult for people to pull the trigger when it comes down to it... The gentlemen that painted the truck still has a little more work to do, after that I will decide if I really want to sell it or not.

Very Nice!!!

Just went through you're build and noticed it's been a while since you posted on here. Any updates? Also what size and brand wheel and tire is on that?

[swamp rat]

I may have to do the same rivet replacement in the future i think a couple are getting loose.

I just looked through your thread, and everything that you have done on this rig is TOP NOTCH! Way cool truck!

Just purchased a set of t50 plus sockets in anticipation of tearing down my 6l90 to change the output shaft from 2wd to 4wd. Still trying to decide what I want to change out while I am in there. Trans has just over 50k on it.

No. Maybe a Camaro some time in the future. The 6l90 is going in my 72.
