72 workin' the farm - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

usdabeef · 08-25-2008, 08:52 PM

I know it's a 4x4, but it was born a 2 wheel drive and put on a yearly dose of steroids. Just got some cool pics while out on the farm and wanted to share. Actually, have been thinking about selling her due to financial stress, but I just don't know how much to list it at and I don't know if I can go through with it. But here she is again anyway. Enjoy.

MrBeast · 08-25-2008, 10:04 PM

I wouldn't sell that truck. I had one very similar, 1970 Black, lifted not as much, but man it was my baby, I still regret selling it to this day...

67_C-30 · 08-25-2008, 10:11 PM

PERFECT!! I love your truck!

MrBeast · 08-25-2008, 10:13 PM

Oh yes, and by the way it is a killer truck.

**Hart_Rod** · 08-25-2008, 10:13 PM

Beautiful truck! I'm kinda partial to that color.........

For me if it was black, it would be perfect.

**special-K** · 08-25-2008, 10:19 PM

Your truck is great and if there`s any way I`d hang onto it.Times are tough all over,but will pass.
Man,looking at your pics reminds me of how the lighting is out west in the high country.It`s a photographer`s delight and sure helps with the mood.Looks like another Kodacolor day.

**Stocker** · 08-25-2008, 10:37 PM

Eh, that poor thing looks pretty rough... tell you what, you sell it to me real cheap and I'll take good care of it.

Seriously, that's a beautiful truck and I hope you can find a way to keep it. If you have to sell it, I hope you get big bucks -- it sure looks like it should sell easily and for a lot of $$.

killer71 · 08-25-2008, 10:44 PM

absolutely stunning...that 2nd pict could sell as a post card....very very nice truck!!!

QKENUF4U · 08-25-2008, 11:40 PM

awesome !!

big_al_71 · 08-25-2008, 11:40 PM

Yes really nice truck!!!!!

19723DR · 08-25-2008, 11:40 PM

Hey big guy!
The truck looks great. It's when times that get hard when we want to sell, but later on you really regret and wish you hadn't. Just speakin' from experience.
I think your truck is definately one of my favorite 4x4's.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-26-2008, 10:33 AM

Your truck is one of my all time favorites, even given the relatively short time that you have been on this board. It is near perfection in my eye.

I sincerely hope you can avoid having to sell it!

sleepertruck72 · 08-26-2008, 11:52 AM

Dont sell that truck ! You will regret it and want to buy it back. Dont do it!!!

Very nice truck indeed. You shouldn't sell it, you'll regret losing that one.

On a side note, do you have any specs? Did you get a new frame for the conversion, or modify the one you had? Awesome truck.

myoldchevytruck · 08-26-2008, 01:26 PM

I agree with all these guys.....Don't Do It, You'll Regret It. That truck is Cherry. You are among an elite group of board members who have achieved near perfection with your truck - The rest of us only wish we were that close. Keep this truck and pass to your kids one day. For Now, Enjoy it. (p.s. times will get better - were all feeling it)

usdabeef · 08-26-2008, 05:08 PM

I appreciate all your positive comments. I know what you mean about regrets. I sold a cherry 70 GMC Jimmy some years back and wish I still had it. I know times will get better. We all feel it. You all know as Chevy guys, the truck should be the last to go.....lol. We'll keep you all posted. Until then, keep her on at least 2 wheels.

Stoney · 08-26-2008, 05:23 PM

Keep It

usdabeef · 08-26-2008, 06:07 PM

For the guys that enjoy seeing, "stil2low" here's a couple more for sh**ts and giggles. Hope you dont get tired of looking at her. Thanks again for the support. This Board and it's Chevy guys is the best around.

red71cheyenne · 08-26-2008, 09:58 PM

Nope, I made the same mistake with my first one a real clean 70 with a granny 4 speed. I STILL regret selling it and that was 20 years ago.

Keep it, live in if you have to, or find some way somehow. Its a gorgeous truck and you've done a great job on it. Enjoy it as long as you can.

67_C-30 · 08-26-2008, 10:07 PM

[PAUSE]
I definitely won't get tired of looking at it.
