Well I was out towing the truck around to get a few estimates on frame repair for it. Well one guy at one of the shops kind of offered to buy her off of me. He was willing to go $10k (maybe more) which is what is left on the loan on her. I kinda of don't want to loose her, but this is almost to good of a deal to pass up!:( :confused: :confused:

keep er. i wish i still had every rig i have ever sold. but if i didnt sell them id still have my first i guess. keep it and fix it up

Need more specs on it.

keep it

you'll be kicking your self hard in the ass down the road for selling it

If you sell it now you will hate yourself later. I would never sell my rig.

76 F-250 highboy, 390 .060 over, 4bbl, NP435, NP205, D60 rear D44 front (stock gearing for now), onboard air, fully restored (was my dad's originally), 35" BFGs (going to 38"s soon), some custom interior

i don't know, that whole "dads rig" thing could be something. does it mean anything to you ? vehicles are a dime a dozen......, you can always pick something else up. i would like to give you advise on this one but the sentimental thing might get in the way. you are your own man.

whats wrong with the frame?

The frame decided to bend and crack a little after sliding into the 4ft cement guard rail at 60mph.

buy another frame and get buisy

I'm guessing that the $10,000 loan was used for modifications because otherwise I just don't understand how a 26 year old truck isn't paid for yet.

Anyway, it will be far cheaper to put a new frame under your truck than to sell it and start all over.

the $10K was used for the first restore. Frame is fixable only bent about a foot back on the front end. If I sell it I'm going to buy an EB probably or a newer XJ, and build that up.

fix her

damn the polls are neck and neck! you people are useless! J/K:flipoff2:

Well took her down to the body shop to get things rolling this morning. My baby is staying! :D:D

One thing to think about: To the mechanic its worth 10k or more and he doesnt even have any sentimental value for it... so to you it should be worth even more.

True, even though me and my dad don't get along the best. I think I'm more attached to it just because of all the time and effort I've put into her.

for a 76 to be worth 10000 it has to be nice. If you want to do serious california wheeling in a fullsize you are going to destroy the body(in my opinion). So if serious four wheeling is what you want to do then sell it. for 10,000 you can build a great drivable wheeling rig that isn't quite as pretty, and buy a daily driver honda, for while it is being built/modified. For what I would want to do with a vehicle I would say sell it. But you have to evaluate what you are going to do with it if you keep it and if that makes sense to you.

Well I'm gonna keep her and eventually she'll become the tow rig. But she can play nicely on some soft stuff to keep us happy for now:D

Sounds like you made your decision, now build a beater that can be wheeled hard! :D :D
