I wrecked my beautiful 06 GTO in the HRBT, and will be without a vehicle probably by end of next week; have a 59 3100 short bed with running 261 That was intended to be grandsons in 10+ years; I need a daily driver and I also need a truck. I work full time and go top school at night, so my time to fix and replace stuff is limited for now. I'm considering paying a local shop the insurance money to fix up the 59 in a hurry, but the likely means 350 crate, primer black exterior etc... I wanted to leave those choices to grand son. I also have a 70 GTO I am supposed to be restoring.
I am considering:
sending 59 to shop to be chopped up and made more modern/ dependable
buying a 66 F100 as DD truck
trying to replace my GTO, but would still need a truck
or last resort getting a beater like a Datsun or Toyota truck until I determine a permanent solution.
My questions for the forum are:
Opinion on these or other options
and are there any garages around that are familiar with these trucks
