Here is the reason i never had as much knife money as i would like. It is a 1966 Chevy short bed, custom cab fleetside. I had it for about 8 years and have sunk thousands of $$ into it. Sad thing is it still needs thousands more to get it where i wanted it :shock: Well now it has found a new home, I sold it to my brother ::tu:: Now that frees up some knife money ::ds::

Nice Truck, useem.........but you should have kept it! I have the same problem - I'm restoring a 1940 Chevy pickup. SoCal's got a great classic car and hot rod scene ::tu:: I'll post some pics if you're intrested.

Nooooooo not the truck.... ::mdm:: ::mdm::

Say it's not so, you got rid of the truck....... :lol: :lol: :lol: That is one sweet looking ride you have there useem. ::tu:: ::tu::

At least you went from one obsession to another, I like the thought process that it frees up more money to feed the other..

Ahem.. ::sneaky:: Since you now have a little more money available to spend on knives follow me out to the trunk of my car and let me show you a knife or two I was planning to get rid of... :lol: :lol:

I've always liked the 66 chevy. My dad had the full size bed on his, and i always liked the styling.

Come to think of it I had a 70 Chevy. I had an uncle die and he left it for me. I don't remember if it was a C serieries or K series, but it was ALWAYS hard to find parts for. It still had split rims, nobody wanted to work with those. Took it apart and found it had a nice 350 with a 4 bolt main.

It was certainly heavy duty, an oversize radiator, oil cooler and transmission cooler.

Being that I already had a 4 x 4 1983 Toyota truck, I sold the Chevy. Only 2 wheel drive truck I ever had.

Man, I wish I had BOTH of those back, the Chevy ran so smooth.

Thanks guys. Nothing sweeter than a classic shortbed Chevy. But once you get hooked on AAPK, a guy will do just about anything to support the habit. :D
