Thinking about selling my 69
#16
yeah i sold mine on ebay in less then one day, i had a buy it now option for 1000 bucks, i needed money fast so i sold it cheap. i lost a great deal of money, the engine alone had almost twice that in it. not counting the grill, the new tires, alum rims and complete new exhaust and all the rewiring i did. Plus it had very little rust. Shame what happens when money is needed. I will never sell my harley though. Well unless my new twins need something life threating. i still look for my truck everytime i pass thru maquota iowa. wouldnt mine seeing it one more time

y, I did remember that, but didn't really want to post too much about your personal business.
It looked like a nice truck and I even sent all the info home to my wife just to see if she'd say "Buy it!" but she never mentioned it. I knew it was a good deal, but buying it would have taken away from my family... ironically the reason you were selling and I knew that it would be wrong for me to buy it.
LOL since that time instead of buying any trucks, I have sold off parts and taken in a 17 year old who was in need. My wife and I are now her legal guardian, so in addition to my large family, now have 11 living in our house.
Family is #1 - Fordlover, the nice thing is you still have the memory of the good deeds you did to keep a good truck alive and there will be a time when it is right to get another.
Now... your statement about the Harley - ya, I have to go with you on that as well. I'd keep a bike over a truck (sorry guys) unless I had to have the truck for hauling family, etc.

I find it kind of odd that ppl can spend 40K on a new truck and then to see this. I know it's a different market, but I would love to have a couple of sweet old rides modified to my liking for saftey and convienence and put about 30K IN THE BANK!

I'd rather have a classic vehicle than a 5 year old aerodynamic bubble car in the same shape - they cost about the same. My conscience might hold me back using a good condition classic as a DD though.
