sorry guys, gotta ask...

[salazar44]

OK.. so I've been unemployed now for a few months. Unemployment checks are not cutting it and I have to do the unthinkable, sell my baby. Im not happy about it at all. But when it comes to feeding my family and keeping a roof over their heads it becomes a no brainer. We cant eat the truck! LOL.

So anyway, I want to list it, but I dont want to short myself. I dont expect to get back everything that I've put into her, but labor and parts. God knows I put a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and money into it!

So my dreaded question is, "WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE"S WORTH?".

Check out my blog to see some pics of her. I will put a few on this post also.

Video of my baby running as my boy and I pull up...

Vic:

Say it isn't so! I understand...I have a few of mine for sale right now for the same reason.

I am hopeful that things turn around for you and the rest of us, as well.

I am sorry to hear about your situation and I hope you have a blessed day.

[salazar44]

Thanks Tony! If I remember correctly, my radiator holder on'er is from you.

Yeah, economy sucks really bad right now. Everyone is hurting, and I guess thats the only consoling thing... I'm not alone.

[kenny_strong]

Dont worry you are not the only one hurting, I own my own business but at 4:30 AM I start as an employee at UPS. Call me crazy but i'm not ready to close my business and sit behind the window of a tractor trailer again. Need to find some more goverment contracts, their economy is going very good. GO FIGURE To all of you on here that are havin a hard time. Good luck to you.

Vic:

You have bought a few 4-5-6 Chevy truck parts from me and hopefully those parts helped you get your rig roadworthy. Hang on to her if you can. In the meantime, I will say a prayer for you and your family.

[slepysal]

No your not. I hear you on the priorities, and comend you Hopefuly things turn around hang in there bro

[Hoffman65burb]

Sorry to hear you have to sell it. How much are you looking for the truck (what were you thinking?).

[salazar44]

I have no idea what I'm going to try to get. Thats why Im asking all the friends here... What do you think I could get for it?

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

[LILRED66]

Vic:

I would be glad to give my two cents, but I need a little more info on your rig to do so. The more information the better.

Vic,
Times are tough right now. They WILL get better and you ARE doing what is right for your family. Knowing you are doing the right thing now, leads me to believe when things turn around, you will find another truck to replace the memories. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers man.

I was thinking in my head that all my hard work going into this was for a reason, i was hoping I'd be able to pass it down to ma boy. I guess that aint happening. But I will be back, thats for sure!

[ol Curt]

Atta boy, you'll know all the ins and outs on the next one and it will go quick!

Really? Hmmm.. Thats what I was thinking as well, but I was kinda doubting myself. Thanks for your help. Anyone else agree/disagree?

[dolphman88]

ive seen that video on youtube dozens of times.. i had no idea it was yours.. i would gladly buy it and hold on to it for you until times change.. but things arent looking so well for me either.. best of luck.. and 6k... AT LEAST.. beautiful truck... id pay 8 for it if i had it.. honest

[64Magoo]

I say just give him the truck now and that takes care of the christmas part of things!

[Oregoon]

My truck's my daily driver. Only way to stop myself from selling it if push comes to shove!

I'd sell the family Mercedes (an '80 Diesel) first, but only because parts for the Chevy are cheaper than '80 Mercedes Diesel doodads. Hopefully, it won't come to that.

Keep looking, and I pray it works out for you. That's a beautiful truck. When I hear stuff like this, it makes me wish I could buy it and hold it for you. However, I'm a broke-ass trucker, so that's out.

My dad always said it's the poorest people who help you the most, and here I am, with little more in my pocket than good intentions and bad suggestions: Maybe you could sell off a different vehicle? Enroll in school, and take the full student loan? Get a CDL, and start driving for a living?

Best of luck man!

[joe231]

sorry to hear it,
good luck

[PrerunnerRob]

Good luck! Times will get better, it may take a few years, but you will run across another one in the right situation. Let me know if I can do anything for you.

[ChopperDr]

Any money in selling plasma or other body parts? Try to keep the truck. When it is the last resort to sell her, I hope you make out OK.

salazar44,

Sorry to hear about your situation. I wish you and your family the best through your tough times. You gotta do what's best for your family..you can always get another truck. I agree with the other guys, $6-$8k. It's a very nice truck. Good luck and Merry Christmas...jc
