Help me choose !!!!! Im so torn - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

manimel · 09-03-2009, 06:43 PM

i have to decide witch to part with as i am in a bind and the wife says one has to go so now i have to decide what one to keep i have to choose between my 1977 chevy sw and my68

the 77 was my last project and is mostly done and the 68 is the truck i have always wanted and never been able to obtain till i got this one sometime ago and well as the 77 is nicer and all but the 68 is well beautifull to me as it is lol silly i guess that i cant make the decision on my own but pls tell me what you would do if it were you

mclairmo · 09-03-2009, 06:52 PM

Really depends on usage. If driven daily, I would go with the 77. If just for fun, then go with the 68. It looks better, too. Also, the 77 will likely never be worth much wheras the 68 will slowly go up in value over time.

big_al_71 · 09-03-2009, 06:54 PM

77 goes Bye Bye!!!!!!! if it was me.....

Wideopenracing15 · 09-03-2009, 06:54 PM

I'd say 68. It will always be worth more than the 77. They both look like great trucks btw

purewhitemp5 · 09-03-2009, 06:59 PM

I would throw the for sale sign on the 77 and keep that 68. The 67-72 pickups lines are way more appealing.

manimel · 09-03-2009, 07:00 PM

thanks and yes they are both projects not daily drivers but one needs to go and i am like most of you and think the 77 should go just hate gettin rid of my first ever sw truck lol

landsurvey1 · 09-03-2009, 07:27 PM

I would get rid of the wife! Just kidding, I would get rid of the 77.

Ackattack · 09-03-2009, 07:28 PM

Is the 68 a SWB? No matter though, I think if it were me I'd stick with the 68

yes the 68 is a sw as well and i have thought about keepin both trucks and sellin the wife and kids lol

mclairmo · 09-03-2009, 07:40 PM

You're married now, wife and kids come before the truck.

68lwb292 · 09-03-2009, 07:42 PM

Its obvious which one you want to keep other wise you wouldn't ask the 67-72 board on wich one to keep. You knew before you posted which one we would all say. I know its hard parting with an old friend but that time comes in every man's life sooner or later. Good luck and my deepest sympathy on your soon to be loss.

jbemt31 · 09-03-2009, 07:46 PM

Keep the 68 for sure!!!!!!

Otsa580 · 09-03-2009, 09:33 PM

You have made a wise choice!

*2tons of fun* · 09-03-2009, 10:31 PM

pack up the wife and put her out on the lawn with a for sale sign around her neck.

71swb4x4 · 09-03-2009, 10:43 PM

Can you sell the 77 and put part of the proceeds into the 68? Then it's a win win. The family gets more money, and your truck gets a little better.

122 Vega · 09-03-2009, 10:48 PM

You did say that the 68 was the truck you always wanted...Plus, what's the fun in a truck that's "almost done?"

OARNGESI · 09-03-2009, 10:56 PM

You can always put them both up and keep what doesnt sell

BCOWANWHEELS · 09-03-2009, 10:56 PM

I,d swap wheels and keep the 68

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-03-2009, 11:08 PM

77 would go away in my book..

Longhorn Man · 09-03-2009, 11:13 PM

sell he square body and use the money for a divorce.
I'm kidding... kinda

but seriously, i hope there is a good reason for her "telling you one has to go". otherwise, I'd possibly be leaving with the truck.

BAGNDRAGIT · 09-03-2009, 11:14 PM

id stick with the '68 as well..then sell the '77, with the wife and kids, then dump the money into the '68..
