Kev, I was getting concernced as you have not been on in awhile. Gald to see all is good.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-28-2010, 05:43 PM

Damn I just spent all morning reading this thread and ya traded off the truck... Bummer but Im sure the dodge must be worth it.

oldblue1968chevy · 08-28-2010, 06:51 PM

sweet truck wasnt it?

has the new owner signed up yet?

daverod · 10-31-2010, 11:21 PM

I miss the old truck.

Tx Firefighter · 11-02-2010, 10:14 AM

I've been away from here for months. I kind of looked around but didn't see the new owner on here anyway. Some of my buddies have seen the old truck around and they said it looks exactly the same as it did when I traded it off.

I've been driving the Dodge that I traded it for everyday. It's been a good truck. My wife calls it "Truck Norris" because it's so tall and crude. I've been enjoying the power and 20 miles per gallon a lot.

JohnC · 11-02-2010, 11:00 AM

You don't drive "Truck Norris" it drives you!

Glad to hear the new truck is treating you well. Also glad to see ya pop back in.

ERASER5 · 11-02-2010, 12:30 PM

Truck Norris dosn't drive down the road. It pulls the road under it.

watahyahknow · 11-02-2010, 01:19 PM

truck norris doesnt drive through potholes it pounds the potholes out

Seriously, I respect your new truck but man, I couldn't have traded the old one for it.

You wire me the cash man I'll be right down.

Chainhoist Catapult · 11-03-2010, 03:18 PM

That is freakin cool!!! Those are the rims i will be adding to my truck too. How much did you lower the front end? I saw that you added a Suburban front clip sweet idea. Great stance, man just a great job all the way around. Good find on Pop's old mag!!

I don't think Western Union will deal in Monopoly money. I guess we could give it a shot, though.

daverod · 11-03-2010, 06:07 PM

Ok, I don't miss it as much now.

Guess I'll just have to remember it the way it was.

Before they messed it up.

i agree...it had so much character before

SCOTI · 11-04-2010, 11:27 AM

Tx removed the door logo before it left his posession. The primer likely covered those spots & then some..... Still looks to be the same well built truck beyond that.

VA72C10 · 11-04-2010, 12:02 PM

just seems like it would make more sense if they painted/primed the entire truck one color or maybe re-paint the roof white if they want that kind of money....

Why spend more if you can flip it for your asking price as is for the same investment? The price might be wishful thinking but there's possibly that one person wanting this type of truck & willing to pay. You never know until you try....

joe231 · 11-04-2010, 12:46 PM

SCOTI,
Maybe it's me, but you seem really defensive about it....

IMO, it was perfect when Kevin had it.
I'm sad about the way it looks now, but it isn't my truck so I have no real investment in it.....and I'll get over it

It's just you.

If I were flipping a vehicle for profit, I'd keep the investment to a minimum & maximize my profit; pure & simple plan.

I also liked it just the way it was. But, once the logo was removed & primer was applied, adding a little more didn't exactly ruin the truck (the point I'm making).

I definitely understand maximizing profit....Hope the seller gets what he's looking for, ..... but I seriously doubt it. My point was it's a much better chance to sell at the asking price if it's all one color now that the original patina effect isn't complete any more....

Ok
Never mind then

So what you are saying is that Kevin ruined it?

Bad Kevin!!!
