Don't feel alone brother. While I'm trying to stick it out, my commision checks have sucked all 2013 and end of 2012. I have not been able to buy the things my 68 F250 c.s. needs either. If it does go, there are always others out there later. Keep in touch.

Oh ill be around 
I'm not dwelling on the bad. It's been fun and quite the life experience! I'm not letting it go for dirt..although I'm not asking gold for it. U know they're a dime a dozen and it needs finished..but I also know the sweat and blood (literally) that I have put into it not to mention the money and man hours. I won't sell it to some guy looking for a quick flip and sell. I want someone who has the same passion as I do for that truck. Just someone who can financially make it their own and treat it like it deserves. It's a part of Americana and the ways of old. It deserves the respect of a 45 year old truck haha

Park it, put it on "non-op" status with the DMV/DOT, and throw a tarp over it.
You'll look back and say "Man, I wish I had never got rid of that truck".

I truly hate to see you let it go. You due what you must for your situation.
I second what HIO Silver said. If it's feasible, cover it and come back to it when you are in a better position.
Someone would have to offer me stupid money to get me to sell mine.
I don't see that happening, so I will have mine for a long time

If I can move it somewhere..cuz some family friends have let me store it at there garage as long as I'm working on it. I live in the city and have no room to park it. I did have 20 acres to keep it on..but after the foreclosure the bank locked the land up..so no go there. I'll figure something out one way or another...your words of encouragement are welcome.

I appreciate the kind words Jefffafa. It's all ok. I've moved on from that and moved into town. Just no space and the city frowns upon parked vehicles for x amount of time. Good news though is that the family friend is looking at buying it from me and storing it in his place.

Was watching Counting Cars..a show on the history channel..last night. Now..I know its a hyped up show..but there's just something about watching all those classic cars get revived. Makes me think of the dreams I have for my Ford. Not every 20 something gear old has owned a pieceof classic history. Were a dying breed. If I can't get the price I need out of it..ill be calling a few places to see what city ordinances are in place to keep a vehicle covered. I should gave a little corner in my back yard out of the way to keep her. That's only if the gut tries low balling me. Then there's the family friend. I'm leaning towards him..but having the truck so near yet so far out of my reach would kill me. I find myself going back and forth..then I start listening to you guys and say " hmm..maybe I should just tarp it for now". Figured I would share some of my thoughts today
