You ever see your old truck and wish you had it back? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've tried to get the guy that bought my yellow 69 on the board, but I don't think he's gotten on here. At least that way I could see the progress up close and maybe help him with it, even though he's not the kind of guy I'd probably hang out with.

When I was 14 I bought a '84 S-10 regular cab LWB with a 3.0 l buick in it. Fixed it up since it was extremley butchered by the PP. Drove it on my 16th birthday realized that it wasn't exactly what I wanted so sold it in November and bought a '90 extend a cab SWB with a 4.3 l in it. Fixed it up in time for when I could drive by myself in July, put dual exhaust on it the following summer and wrapped it around an Astro van the next day

Fixed it up again and still own it, although the wife hates driving it so I bought her a Bravada and I have a company truck so it kinda just sits there now. Anyways back to the '84, I bought it back the year before I bought the '68, I drove it home a couple of times and remembered that it was a piece of crap and resold it for another tidy profit.

I wish I had my '57 Chevy Nomad back. It was all OE with power pack. Needed the money at the time and sold it for only $2,400. in 1984. Drove like new. Hinesite.

I've been thinking about selling mine and hope I don't miss it.

I've had the reverse happen. I bought a 1977 Bronco from a guy who's wife and kid "cried" as I drove it away. I later got an email from him asking if I was ready to sell it back to him. I still have the Bronco, but will give him first refusal if I ever sell it.

The only one of my old cars I ever bumped into again was my first Alfa Romeo Alfasud, sure glad I didn't still have it as it had broken down and was being pushed by two blokes. I do kinda hanker after my first car, a 1969 Mk III Triumph Spitfire.

71 Cheyenne/SWB/Rust free/Rock stock:
I did and I did!!! Missed it and bought it back last year.
It felt so good, I had it painted.

My Dad bought this truck. Sold it to my sister Linda. She drove it for 2 years then sold it to my sister Julie. She drove it for 3 years, then sold it to me. I restored it, sold it to my neighbor, neighbor lost her job 2 weeks after buying the truck so I bought it back. Sold the truck back to my sister Linda 2 years ago. She is still driving it but it's not nice anymore....they are hard on vehicles...so NO, I don't want it back. Last time I saw it, it was starting to chuff out a little oil....

That is why I never sell anything.I will let it rust to nothing before I sell it.
