Re: Help me make a hard descision
if you are thinking of selling or trading a 67-72 truck, this is probably the last place to come for advice. everyone here loves these trucks and it would take an act of god to get most of this forum to part with their trucks. here is my honest opinion. is keeping that truck causing you financial problems? are the problems big enough to put stress on your life or stress on other family? if so, will trading for the vw help relieve those stresses? and how much? also, is it short term stress relief? meaning, is this just a quick fix to a short term issue. if money is going to be better soon and you love your truck, then maybe there are some other things laying around you can sell for some cash.

Re: Help me make a hard descision
Dang, i didnt realize yall were gonna get this worked up. The chevy sits cuz i havent had the money to finish getting it drivable.ive got to fix gauges, and powersteering gearbox. My job now that im finished with school will only last until the end of the summer. I think i just had a, excuse my language, a 'tard moment and thought wow, the mpg. I saw the guy saturday, he walked up to me all smiles, i looked at him, and told him she is yours when you pry my cold dead hands of the steering wheel. I dont think i actually wanted to and infact dont want to get rid of her, but that stupid brief temptation of good mpg, friends can ride with me made go ooo, but then i thought, all i need is room for my girl, and when i roll up in the truck, friends will go ooooooooooooooo. I didnt mean to start a war here, i just mainly wanted my brothers to remind me of how dumb im sounding even considering it.

Re: Help me make a hard descision
If you're spending $250 a month in fuel allready. It might be time to run the numbers on the payment/gas ratio on somthing newer to replace the dodge with. Don't sell the old truck if you don't want to and certinly don't trade it for a VW.

Re: Help me make a hard descision
I wanna take a whack at the dead horse too! I vote NO! lol
Good call keeping the truck. They'll only go up in value from here. A solid SWB is hard to come by.

Re: Help me make a hard descision
You'll regret it. I get sick thinking of all of the good ole Chevys I've parted with. I have a dream every so often that they are in my back yard in need of a little TLC.
