Hello Stovebolters,
I use to be a regular around here about 15 years ago. I spent about five years rebuilding a 1966 Chevy C60 grain truck. I got the old girl looking nice and spent evenings driving it through the countryside near our farm. Well, one day the accelerator stuck and the engine spun a bearing. So much for that. When that happened, finances got a little tighter, my city job got a little more demanding and my mother-in-law needed care so we took her in. So, the C60 sat and sat and sat.
Finances are better now, I retired from the city job, have sold most of the farm equipment and Momma has passed on to her reward. The Chief Financial Officer of this outfit does not think we should spend any more money on the truck and at this point in my life, neither do I. I no longer have interest in working on the truck. We travel a lot now and have other interests.
So my question for you good folks, is what should I do with the C60? Should I just scrap it and take a huge financial loss? Should I try and sell it whole? Should I dismantle it and sell it for parts? It is complete with a 292, four speed manual tranny, two-speed rear end, modern wheel rims with new tires(at the time) and a full steel flat bed with a twin hoist dump. The quick Rustoleum paint job I put on it has mostly flaked off and rust is started to show back on all the panel work I did. I had put about $10,000 into it when it was finished.
Looking to you good folks for some advise.
What say?
Thanks in advance for you advise.
