Re: Difficult decision of whether or not to sell
That truck is a cool old vehicle. I love the small window '67s. I had a GMC years ago with the same engine and transmission - wish I had never sold the thing.
Unless you have a need for money, or you just don't want it any longer, keep it and learn how to do the things it needs. It will be rewarding to be able to say "I did that". Every one of us had to start somewhere in the learning process on these trucks. None of us was born with the "know how" to keep these things going, we learned, we persevere, and we enjoy the fruits of our "sickness"! Good luck on your decision.

It sounds like you like the truck but are frustrated with all that's going on right now. I would start by making a list of pros and cons and have a sit down with your wife. One thing I believe is pertinent here is that your lack of mechanical skill is one very good reason (as someone already mentioned) to keep the truck. They are very simple to work on, you have a great support network at your fingertips (us) and parts are very affordable. Compare that to a later model vehicle. When things go wrong with these trucks, they aren't usually catastrophic price wise. Price out a head gasket, bent valve, or even a tune up on a late model car sometime. It's also a very good investment and the longer you wait as the economy improves, the better. Good luck on your decision. |
