Got rid of wife gained a truck
Been sneaking around this site for a long time. First I must say thanks to everyone for the knowledge they share. Picked up a 68 swb stepper a couple weeks ago. Originally 6 cyl, 3 on the tree. Someone swapped in a wore out 305 2bbl. Taken care of that already. Got a long way to go and a lot of rust to fix, but I've got the time now. First up is disk brakes and a trans. Not sure if 5 speed or 4 speed auto. Will post pics soon..... Ex wife took the camera.

Re: Got rid of wife gained a truck
how much cash did you have to give along with the wife in trade for the truck?

Re: Got rid of wife gained a truck
Welcome to the wife and truck trade club. I replaced the old wife with a new one, and the new one bought me the truck. Ever heard of a win-win?

Re: Got rid of wife gained a truck
I never had a wife to trade ( and the way you guys are talking, I never will). Congrats on the truck though!

Re: Got rid of wife gained a truck
Mine bought my GMC for me ! They're not all bad, you just gotta find the right ones. They're still out there ! Third time was the charm for me.
Let's see some pics of the truck !

I said, "See, that's why I never got married. I've had this truck since 1973." I have a theory that Detroit had malicious intent when they started pushing the automatic transmission, "So the little lady can drive it too." If the b!tch could drive it away, and break her ex old man's heart in the process, it was a two shot for her. That way, the poor sucker had to buy a new truck. [Hopefully with a clutch that no self-respecting female would risk breaking her high heel spikes on trying to double-clutch.]

My wife understands the addiction, I have always had a truck. It is cheaper than a girlfriend !

Re: Got rid of wife gained a truck
My wife doesn't mind the trucks and has helped several times on the two person jobs. Now that we have kids I'm really excited about having my 3year old son help me out in the garage in a few more years. I think we're going to build a chevelle for momma.
