i was thinking about my past projects

i was thinking last ngith about my padt projects.. in the last 6 or 7 years ive had 3 project trucks.. first one was about 6 or 7 years ago, i was given a 1960 chevy lwb 1/2 stepper. cali truck was in the same family for over 35 years.. no motor, but a rust free truck.. i got a 283 for it, factory option for that year was with in a few hundred dollars of driving it.. but had to make a decision wheni started my bussiness i had 600.00 total in it and sold it to a guy i knew from chicago for the 600 i had in it..
next was a 68 gmc 1/2 lwb truck with no motor, i ended up tradign it for the 76 crew cab..
next was the 76 crew cab that everythign went wrong with from the start.. stripped a darned good truck down to make the crew cab run, and that went wrong.. good motor, decided to start rod knock on fire up..

the 76 is going ot be scrapped in the next day or so, need the money.. seems like life keeps gettign in the way of my projects..lol

but im already thinking of next year and if abel will be picking up another project.. i want another crew cab, but after readign over on the 47 to 59 side of things, i rember the ones that got away from me when i was a kid.. would like ot have a 50 panel truck, or pickup.. so who knows what direction the wind will blow me in next time.. i think if possible, the next ones goign to be running when i get it.. maybe if im driving it, i wont have to sell it,,lol

so now im truckless, got a motor home that is trying my paitence worse than that 76 ever did, and stuck driving a nissan altima.. in hind sight i should have just fixed up my 84 3/4 that i stripped to make the 76 run.. i miss that 84...
