OK, i have 2 77 Dodge trucks. The 4x4 I bought when i was 14, built it from the frame up and made some mistakes along the way. If i finish it, i would like to take the body back off (not hard, it has 1 bolt on it right now) and clean up the frame mounts, etc.
Also, When i did it, i stripped EVERY bolt.. so the cab is in shambles.. and very much needs ALOT of work. I dont want to sell it because of all the energy i put into it,a nd it was my first truck.
The second dodge is a lowered 2wd i bought in highschool for a parts truck, but made it my daily driver. Plan was to make it into a street truck, throw in my 413, 4 speed, etc, and make it a really fun little truck. This again needs alot of work. This truck i dont want to sell because it was my truck through Highschool and I have alot of memories in it, and want to make alot more in the truck.
Building 2 projects, plus having a wheeling truck, AND a daily driver takes its tolls... in fact i havent had much time, money or energy for either of these two trucks in abotu 8 months. They are sitting on the side of my house.
I was thinking tonight though what about taking both trucks, and making one. Take the body off the green one, finish up the frame, and put on the brown truck body (complete). But am not sure, as i know i will cry when i see the brown one get torn apart (only think keeping it from driving is the blown 727, of which i have a rebuilt one in the garage).
So what do you think i should do? Just keep both projects, and slowly finish them? Sell them? Sell one? Or make them both into one truck?
Thanks for your help.
