Mike,
I had a 67 C-10 back in 2005. Bought it for $4K and put ANOTHER $11K into it.
Sold it for $8K, because I was in a similar boat that you are.
Had a GM Crate ZZ383/425 HP Engine, and I only put about 4K miles on it.

May I please say.DON'T SELL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a 2nd chance and now own a 72 GMC, with an old/tired 350.
I think I'm getting 11-12 MPG. Gas is pushing $3.65 a gallon for the Cheap stuff,
where I'm at.
I happen to live in Palm Springs area, so almost EVERY DAY, is a Cruising Day.
I have an 05 GMC Sierra Ext Cab I drive 90% of the time, but I'd GLADLY park my 72 in the Garage and NOT drive it, as opposed to selling it.
You will regret it every FREAKIN' day.
Just my .02 cents worth.
Not many of us are handed a chance to get another 67-72 Chevy/GMC.
I was, and will be forever grateful.
Think about it.
