well, I may just give up
After having my 85 for 6 years, I think it may be time to sell it and move on. I've had the interior torn apart for over a year now and never have the ambition to work on it anymore. In the past 3 years it has had maybe 50 miles put on it, but I highly doubt that many. It'll just be hard to sell it after this long and it being my first vehicle. Then again maybe I'll let it sit for a few more years in the hopes of maybe restoring it one day.

Re: well, I may just give up
as someone with an 83 burban with all four tires being white wall, i'll pretend that I didn't see the statement that they are "oddballs"..lol. Just kidding. Looks pretty good to me, that would bring a good dollar amount up here in the rusty north.

The picture makes the truck look a little bit better than it actually is. It was repainted 4 years ago, but sitting outside under a pine tree killed it.

Re: well, I may just give up
As long as it's not leaking and rusting out the floors or something like that, just keep it. How many stories have you heard about people being sorry that hadn't sold a car or a truck sooner? None? That's what I thought.
