That was a really good looking truck. The vintage wheels were a great touch. The wheels and the truck just seem to go together.

Re: It's official... my old friend is gone :(
I know the feeling. I sold my 66 Chevelle about 17 years ago. I still see it at local car shows. It makes my stomach turn when I do. Funny thing is, I couldn't afford to buy it back now. Oh well, it's time for you to find another project to take your mind off it.

Re: It's official... my old friend is gone :(
I am a victim of the same thing as I do not fall in love with cars/truck/motorcycles but as of lately I am starting to think the dozens of vehicl;es I have had that I would like to own today but oh well on the next one...It also helps that I am in the car business so I think of them as $$$$$.

Hey Jeff, that sure would be like losing an old friend. Are you going to build something else right away or take a break from the oldies for a while? LockDoc

This buyer was different than any other I've ever seen. He replied TEN MINUTES after I posted it on Craigslist. I called him, he said "send a few more pics, i'm sure I'll take it". Two days later he pulls up, looks at the rust under the cab I told him about up front, listened to it fire up and handed over the cash. He didn't even do a walk around the truck, drive it or anything. Then he spots the '68 sticking out of the shed. "how much you want for that"? I replied, oh man, I was afraid you would ask that. It's got even more sentimental ties as I bought it when I was 15, it's a shortbox, and it's in better shape with a bunch of fresh mechanicals done last year. "So how much"? I shot him a price that I thought was on the high side of too much without getting dumb crazy- and he says "I'd give ya that". It is very tempting to sell it. Even more so now that I found a sweet '66 Buick Special I'm drooling over. And it is priced right, leaving some cash to put towards justin's Torino. What to do, what to do  Quote:
Maybe you can Photoshop a member's truck in front of it, that would be sweet. Here's a few pics of the Buick I found. Rust free Idaho car.

I bought a new Skylark Gran Sport in '65. It was the same color Red as that one, with a White interior. Man I loved that car...  LockDoc
