if money was no option what would you trade your truck for

JoetheMobster · 06-02-2002, 10:05 PM

I'd trade my truck for a new Porsche Boxster (yawn, too many in town here) and then I sell it, buy my truck back, plus a few more for parts!!

*racedvl* · 06-02-2002, 10:05 PM

I might be trading my 87 burb for a 72 burb....

REPO1 · 06-02-2002, 10:18 PM

I'd take a nice Buick Grand National anytime!

dion · 06-02-2002, 10:38 PM

I've had offers for a 2002 Silverado 1500 with 10,000 miles and a 1996 collector ed. Corvette and an offer of $8,500 but declined but I would trade for a Cheyenne Super with all the options. I love this truck, we've been through a lot together.

*racedvl* · 06-02-2002, 10:42 PM

A 2002 as a straight trade????? I'd have done it!!!

**BOSS** · 06-02-2002, 10:50 PM

I love my truck but i must admit i would trade it for a fastback mustang 69 or 70 in a heartbeat.Does that make me a traitor...lol

dion · 06-02-2002, 10:57 PM

I don't belive it was paid off, I would have to had taken over the payments, yeah right.

*racedvl* · 06-02-2002, 10:58 PM

Ah, that changes things!!

DevinM · 06-02-2002, 11:23 PM

I'd say I'd trade mine rust bucket for a 67 SWB that looks like it just came off the factory line.

Brad · 06-02-2002, 11:28 PM

A beautiful woman with a truck that I could live happily ever after with.

mikep · 06-02-2002, 11:45 PM

My dream car (one of many). I'd have to make that trade too!!

O'l Buck · 06-03-2002, 12:59 AM

I'd trade my wifes f#@d exploder for a 70 burb any day of the week

Mitzki5 · 06-03-2002, 01:08 AM

I would have to take a 55 or 57 Chevy truck!

tim m · 06-03-2002, 10:40 AM

Some guy came up to me one time and asked me how much I wanted for my truck, I told him it was not for sale. He kept insisting that he wanted it and he had the money that he could afford it. He was driving a Cadillac Escalade, so I told him I would take that in straight trade. He told me I was Freakin nuts, I said that was what I wanted to trade for.

Bram · 06-03-2002, 10:42 AM

I'd trade for a truck exactly like the one I have, only fully restored!!! ha,ha!

Project1970 · 06-03-2002, 11:23 AM

I'd trade it for my dream Camaro...I voted '67-'69 but it could be a '70-'73 with the splitbumper RS front end just as easily...

What is my dream Camaro?

Start with a '67 to '73 Camaro, with full / correct RS and SS trim...add 17" Torq-Thrust IIs, just about every suspension part out of the Hotchkis catalog (except the lowering springs, they're low enough as it is), and under the hood... an LS6 engine, with GM's sleeveless block to take it up to a nice round 427 cubes, long-runner custom fuel injection, and a pair of turbos...Lingenfelter got 725hp from this setup, I could probably get 600 no problem

Ideally, to complete the drivetrain, I'd have a 6-speed sequential transaxle in a Corvette independent rear suspension, but since sequentials aren't exactly easy to come by, I'd settle for the standard ZF 6-speed transaxle...

Hmm. On second thought, it'd be like this car taken to the next level, and done with a Chevy instead of a Ford.

(side note, that Mustang is INSANELY fast...I've personally eaten its dust...quite literally...a low 12 second run against a mid 16 second truck does that on a dusty track...)

**Desert Rat** · 06-03-2002, 01:07 PM

Well mine would be ANY 65-8 Facory Chevy Big Block Car or a 61-2 Impala 2dr or Wagon of equal value.I d trade for a new truck also something i could jump into and cruise anywhere with the AC on full blast,but if my truck was DONE youd have to bury me in it.Done as far as frame done,cold AC,not a dirty bolt on it.

**COBALT** · 06-03-2002, 02:24 PM

...a '67 Mustang Fastback, like the one Steve McQueen drove in Bullitt. Sorry guy. I know it's a f$%d, but God, what a car...

blue72stepside · 06-03-2002, 03:40 PM

I didn't see nothing on the chooses.

I would only trade for my life or family's life.

I bought this truck new in High School, work the summer + to pay

for it. I have had 10, 100 ,1000's of good times in it, in the past

30 years. If u know what in mean!!!

devinfife · 06-03-2002, 07:06 PM

id trade mine for a nice 69 blazer

Durwood · 06-03-2002, 10:10 PM

'71 GTO or '72 Lemans with the GTO front end option, in mint condition. Whoa... I just got wood...

WORNBRAKES · 06-04-2002, 02:31 AM

I agree with dion on the cheyenne super.

mrein3 · 06-04-2002, 07:26 AM

I guess I wouldn't trade. I already have two Chevelles. I just got my truck to how I like it. Why trade?
