78 Ranger worth 10K

I was just going to tell yall that I went to the scrap yard today with a load of scrap metal in my 78 Ranger. As I was tossing stuff out the back a spotless clean 06 F-250 pulled up. It had big tires, brush guard, spotless clean. I figured it was some rich white contractor in his 30's or so but a skinny black guy got out and went up to me. He offered me 10 grand for my truck not knowing anything about it.(I only gave 2) I debaed for a moment about selling my first truck then I told him I had just bought it a couple weeks ago. He offered me whatever I had gave for it. I eckon somebody still appreciates the old Fords like I do. That 10 grand would of went a long way on a new truck project though.

I would have been walking home from the scrap yard. Would not have even bothered the guy for a ride home.
Cash please, I am outta here!
Bueatifull old truck that you just bought and really had no ties to. Choice would have been easy.

It would depend. If it was a family truck or had some emotional value, money isn't always worth giving that up.

That said, if there wasn't a specific attachement, I'd pocket the loot.
