Re: Green Gus the 68 shortbed convert
I definitely agree with what you all are saying in terms of valuation of the truck and that I'd be taking a big hit if I sold and then eventually wanted another truck. I think the honest truth is I'm just scared to drive it these days. Growing up I didn't think twice about the safety of my vehicle and drove old cars for years. Now that I'm older and especially since I have kids, all of a sudden the risk is starting to outweigh the joy of driving old iron. I know there's risk in driving anything, period, but I can't get out of my own head that the truck is a death sentence waiting to happen. And I especially don't want to subject my kids to that by taking them for rides, even if I know they love the truck. I don't know, maybe it's just an existential crisis I'm going through, but at present I'm feeling like once I finish up a few things on the truck I will most likely let it go...
