Getting rid of the wrecked 78'?

[78' Silverado]

Been thinking of getting rid ot the 78'. I figure...We need 2000 for our paint job. We got 4000 in a body work. Atleast. The interior is 100 perfect but I wanna redo some of it. Susp Kits, all that. I mean...I am really only keeping it b/c I put all that money into lowering it and wat not. So Wat I am thinking is....Selling that truck....buying nother one with a good body Paint it and get it over with. Slap that 383 in and be done lol. But I dunno lol. Was looking at Camaros but there to expensive. and that custom paint..jsut cant see it on anything other than a truck lol. I dunno!!! I am so confused haha. But I mean if anything..I will be a 78 or Earlier. I dont really like the 80's model. But we'll just see I guess. No use in spending almost 9grande when I can sell the truck and spend 4k with the new paint on aonther one lol. And just swap the Interior. But if we go with somethig else other than the another truck lol. I got ton and tons and tons of parts guys haha. Wat yall think I should do. There is one thign keepin me going haha...Erics truck lol. Looks just like mine lol. Keep up the great work man!

haha

your truck does look sweet too. i would say that if you can find another truck that you like, buy it and sale/sell the 78'

if you just flat out get rid of it, you will regret it later on down the road.

sit back, take a break from everything. dont touch it, or work on it, or think about another project for a while. then after a nice long break, decide what you want to do.

yeah, dont make a decision without sitting on it (maybe literrally in our cases) for a while. I don't know if you're the original owner or not, i sure as heck could never part with ol red, its a part of our family. I'm pretty sure my dad drove my mom to the hospital in ol red when she was pregnant with me, except it didn't make it all the way b/c a tire blew

Maybe you should try the old "pros & con's " list. Write down what your practical options are and the advantages or disadvantages of selling vs. rebuilding....

I have a 2wd Blazer for sale.

I agree with the rest, give it some good thought before you leap into anything. Considering how long ago your accident(s) happened, I assume you already have been thinking about it long and hard.

IMO, I would stray away from the Camaro for two reasons. Most cars are pretty impractical (especially for truck owners), and everybody has a Camaro...they are far too common for me. BUT, that is just my opinion.

Good luck with whatever you decide, keep us posted.

Thx guys!! Yea we have been thinknig for a while. Wat we will prolly end up doing is buying another rolling truck with no tranny or engine and fix that one up. That'll be much cheaper! Cuz i still want a truck! They just look great Thx for the advice guys!
