Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

[CC69Rat]

Talked to the wife about the whole truck thing. Here's the plan.

We are both 39, no children. I will be 40 on April 5. It's time for some little ones. As some of you know, I have been into cycling for years, Triathlon, etc. Let's just say I think I may have damaged something. Even as a kid, I was into 'freestyle' and BMX, raced Mtn bikes for a while .. I've spent a lot of time in uncomfortable situations.

The problem is me, (confirmed) so we're looking into Invitro. IVF, it's not the cheapest thing in the world so instead of draining the savings and what not.. I am going to finish up the GMC and sell it. It will suck, but .. maybe on the Power Tour or something just hang a sign in the window that it is for sale.

I made her a promise. IF things don't happen like they should before June 1, then we will commit to IVF and all costs involved. If for some reason it does happen then .. well..

Bottom line, I have another truck. If the GMC goes to a new home, then the stepper becomes a fleetside, and some new shoes. I will finish up the paint on it and just enjoy that one. Nothing wrong with a 68 SWB, BBC. Possibly 20x12, Aluminum heads, bagged, just a street bruiser. Slick with side trim, etc. (reason to go to fleetside)

All is not lost... but I do hate the GMC will likely have to go. Two trucks is a lot to ask from the wife and I am being a little unreasonable about it so, she's cool with one truck and a new baby I can do that.


I talked to Stiney the other day and I will be ordering my front wheels next Friday. The weather is clearing up in Chattanooga so I can finish up painting the bedsides (inside) and get the bed back on it. Then it's brake lines, finish up the interior and send it on it's way. It will be a se*y little SWB, no doubt.

Later ..
