Thinking about selling my truck...What do you guys think??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

5150 · 10-04-2007, 12:19 PM

Hey guys thinking about it. Mostly because I don't have enough room for it and the blazer when it gets back from the body shop. Since it's a roadster it will have to sit in the garage all the time. For you that are married, you know that there is no way I'm going to be able to get my wife to leave the garage and let both of my toys sit in there

Don't know what to ask or even where to begin. Luv and I have talked about this before but either one of us could come up with a starting price.

Just been thinking about it, so I thought I'd ask some other opinions.

**Thealien** · 10-04-2007, 12:34 PM

Be real nice and try to get the other garage space.

**Palf70Step** · 10-04-2007, 12:48 PM

Use the silver bullet as the DD, sell the Ho' (Tahoe)

brianthelion02 · 10-04-2007, 12:51 PM

Hmmm sounds like you need more garage!!!!!!!!!!

5150 · 10-04-2007, 12:57 PM

yes, that's another option. We've thought about building a double metal garage behind the house. I've begged for a lift

67ChevyRedneck · 10-04-2007, 01:04 PM

Park the truck outside

Mine's outside 24-7-365.

Just thought I'd add, that's a real nice truck!

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 10-04-2007, 01:16 PM

If you sell the truck does the money go towards a down payment on the new garage?????

esll.

brianthelion02 · 10-04-2007, 02:36 PM

I like youre thinkin ESLL!!!!!!!

see ten · 10-04-2007, 03:52 PM

Bryan keep shooting for a garage with a lift. Then you'll be able to store one of em up high while the other is being parked down below it!

**Ron 586** · 10-04-2007, 04:19 PM

I hope it don't come to selling the truck. I know a nice shop with a lift would be great but a plain metal building with room for two toys is better than selling the silver bullet. Unreal.

PanelDeland · 10-04-2007, 05:22 PM

For economy sake just get a carport for the Ho and momma's DD.Keep the silver bullet and the Blazer.She'll get over it.

It'd be better to keep it and park it outside than to sell it and not park it at your place at all.

I would exhaust all other options before selling. There is a covered storage
place here locally I have considered for this winter. It's open kinda like the
carports are, but it's locked and gated. They charge $45 a month. If .......
you only stored it in that type of environment till April that's only $270

EDIT: Unless of course this is a $ issue and you have to sell something

I have a 3 car garage and a 1 car metal shop and she parks her car in the driveway and her 70 Cutlass convertible also does not have a garage yet.

5150 · 10-04-2007, 10:12 PM

Well, it's the fact that she's always parked in the garage.

hey Craig, what is Rox's email address??

It's not a money issue, just a space issue. It's not an issue yet, but with winter coming and my blazer getting out of the body shop in the next little while I'll have to make a decision.

wibilly · 10-04-2007, 11:17 PM

take her car away then she needs no garage space. sell it and build yourself a new garage

5150 · 10-04-2007, 11:24 PM

It's a late 90's Accord, probably wouldn't bring enough for a lift

paaw · 10-04-2007, 11:27 PM

Can't you get one of those cheap 595 carports and let her park her car under it, or put the truck under. thinking of getting on to put my truck and tractor under

Thunderace1997 · 10-05-2007, 03:52 AM

Beautiful truck. I wish I had the money to offer you for that work of art. If you need a garage to park it in, I'm several hours east of you in NC.

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-05-2007, 04:52 AM

Just dump the Accord and give her your truck

[/QUOTE

get a car cover for the accord maybe?

vtblazer · 10-05-2007, 06:22 AM

Get a car cover and park it out back where the 'proposed' garage will sit.

**special-K** · 10-05-2007, 06:31 AM

Build a carport that will become a steel shop/parking.Have her park outside until it`s built or park the bullet outside awhile.Cover it with Tyvek.
