I'm thinking about getting rid of my 86 GMC SWB..... and I'm looking for someone to talk me out of it

My truck is not finished just needs some paint and misc items...
The reason... to swap ... to for another vehicle ( I dont want to post what kind)

c'mon man, there's no haters here.

If you're bored with it, just shelf it for a while like I'm doing with my CC project. I'm building a ZJ right now because I got bored with the square project. Come back to it in a year or two, it'll give you time to sort out what direction you want to go with it. It's a nice lookin shortie, I'd keep her.

I sold the 79 SWB in my avatar a couple years ago, and I'm still kickin myself. I'll never find another like it for the $25oo I sold it for.

Lower it or even level it then take a look at it, you will change your mind.

ramz · 01-24-2012, 02:41 PM

dude thats your problem. get another one and rip it to shreads to see what you can make out if it.

but if you really feel you watt to move on to another vehical, go for it. just tell us what kind so we can "yay or nay" it

ramz · 01-24-2012, 02:50 PM

Maybe you guy are right! Maybe I will just buy the other vehicle (JEEP).
Thanks!

There ya go, that's what I did. Mine's a 94 Grand Cherokee build. It affords a nice break from the square project. Mine should be finished by June, then I will start on the CC square again.

ramz · 01-24-2012, 02:54 PM

Yes, I use to own a 05 Jeep Rubicon and miss it.....

**old Rusty C10** · 01-24-2012, 06:16 PM

i think its too nice to get rid of.. especially for a jeep.. but if youre really tired of the truck then by all means follow your dreams..

Don't get rid of it. Trust me. I sold my K10 to get a F*** *-250and it was the worst choice of my life. You will miss the truck, you'll miss working on it and all the good times you had with it. You'll miss the classic look of the old square bodys. Hopefully that's enough to talk you out of it

Please, keep it

Fix it up nice and pass it down to your kids when the time comes!

I spent 5 years building a s-10 from a pile of parts .
I had talked about selling it for a few a while and the day I got it finished we was having a yard sale and a guy seen it sitting in the garage , He walked over and was looking at it and asked me if it was for sale and of coarse I told him sure is .
If I would have takin it the track a few times my answer sure would have been NO and I do miss it badly .
So close the garage door on it for a lil while you will go back to it with a different perspective .

motornut · 01-25-2012, 02:31 PM

NO don't let it go
thats in great shape....
park it some where you can't see it for two weeks....bet you will change your mind

76Charlie · 01-25-2012, 09:08 PM

Your truck is your truck, non the less a classic chevy truck, if you sell it, you will regret it for eternity! I almost sold mine, god knows I'm glad I didn't
