was in financial hurt in a bad way and had to sell my 72 4x4. let her go for 900$, i think it was to cheap but i was in need. was a 1 owner truck(my dads) and original unmolested but a little rough, but couldnt let the sentimental part get to me.

I'm sorry that you had to sell it. I know it feels like you're selling your dog or something. I tried to sell my '70 for a while, and even though I don't need it, I just couldn't do it. For future reference, for the $25 you spend here on a year's subscription, you could have put it on our trucks for sale page, and most likely got a little more for it. Anyways, I hope that you get through these tough times.

I've had to do the same thing before, it sucks big time. Now I have such a piece of junk I can't sell it and have to keep it

ive been having a fire sale on most of my stuff. sold my enclosed trailer, 1 of my quads and my 72 in the last week. rough times for sure. no matter how bad it gets for me, i still realize there are others worse off. down the road i know there will be another truck for me.

I'm at home again today because things are so slow where I work so I know where you're coming from. Sorry you had to sell it, hang in there!

I feel your pain. Still working, but between divorce, and just general cost of everything. Looking at selling my truck. Dont want to, but some thing just have to be done. Good luck buddy
