Re: Anyone wish they had one back?

heck ya I wish my 82 was still on the road.. wasnt fast or much to look at but I put alot of time into her and had alot of good memories. She got me through alot of places I didnt think she could.. and it finally wore her out. Never sold, just put out to pasture. The miss the 87 too, but only had it for a year before it got taken away so the memories werent there. I have had the 82 since Dec of '96.

Re: Anyone wish they had one back?

I had that truck I think 2 1/2 yeas ago . It came from Iowa . I shouldnt have sold it but.......I did . I think I am going to sell my tan truck soon but the black one was probably the one I SHOULD have kept . Someone once told me that there will always be another . I want to do a bigblock truck and dont think I want to mess with the tan one . I am going to find another cab for a 77 that I have had since Highschool and build it . Frank

Re: Anyone wish they had one back?

My first real truck - '84 long bed GMC Sierra Classic given to me by my dad when i was 16. Got a new Z28 in 1991 and lost interest in the truck at the time - freeze plug blew out and i ended up practically giving it away to get it out of the yard.

16 years later and the Z is long gone, but i'm still playing with old trucks. Hope to build one up as a mild custom and give it back to dad someday in the not too distant future.

Re: Anyone wish they had one back?

How about one that got away? There are a couple I would like back, but not as much as I wish I had bought this one.

My wife thought I was nuts ( she's right) but I could see this one growing in value considering what I could have bought it for..

Ken ,
How long ago was it that you thought about that truck ? Also ,it looks to have the Mandarin Orangish interior that I have only seen (in person) one time. I would have probably tried to buy that truck even if the wife wasnt on board . They say it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. Frank

Re: Anyone wish they had one back?

Frank the pics are dated 2004. I had someone interested in buying my 77 so I went looking for a replacement. I found that one, but my 77 buyer backed out after he heard my price.

My wife didn't think I needed "another" truck, and a Blazer, and a....

Jeff, If I had bought that truck I posted above my plan was to make it a woody....
