Re: Mine and Grandpas c10

The damn shop light fell from the ceiling and landed on my hood and scratched the passenger side fender...... Now i gotta find time to get it repaired..

Re: Mine and Grandpas c10
well I wasn't able to get the damage repaired before the Lonestar Throwdown show. Did touch it up and polish it out. Wanting to get my dually all back together before i tear this one apart for repairs. But even in a rainy show it still placed top 100 out of a roughly 1500 entries. Cant complain and the little man loves getting a trophy.

well i think the time has come. Ive owned this truck for 12 years now but I think its time to let her go. I started my own shop and Im doing pretty well, but don't have much time to enjoy this thing and I'm kinda looking forward to the next build. It will always be Grandpas truck but he'd definitely understand my reasons for selling it. Growing a business is expensive! With that said here are a few parting shots!!!

Re: Mine and Grandpas c10
Don't do it! I sold my grandpa's 68 C10 when I was in the Army 23 years ago and have regretted it ever since. I'm still looking for it, maybe one day I will find it and get it back, but until then I have others to play with, but it just isn't the same.

Re: Mine and Grandpas c10
Sell something else! Keep Grandpa's truck in the family. There was a aboesec10 little guy in the pictures and you created memories for him in your garage with that truck.
Just my .02 cents. Bill |
Re: Mine and Grandpas c10
i wouldnt sell it...you seem to have a lot of family memories tied into that truck.
id rather sell my butt than sell my truck |
Re: Mine and Grandpas c10
Man, I hate to hear that. You were one of, if not the first on the board to do the L83 swap. You have helped many of us attempting to do the same thing. Tell us more about your shop.... are you just doing paint and body? There’s gotta be another way to finance your business. Plus, slower growth isn’t always a bad thing. Just think how much your son will love telling his buddies about how he went to shows and brought home trophies with his grandpas and dads pick up truck.
Guilt trip over. Brian |
