I bought a 72 Cheyenne super from the original owner once. I spent a ton of money and time restoring the truck.

I took it back to show it to him, and in his mind, it looked just like that when he sold it to me.

When I sell one I would rather never see it again. My uncle bought a 78 Silverado 4X4 new, and sold it to another uncle later. The other uncle did a frame off on it. It was beautiful.

A kid in town got an insurance settlement and bought the truck for big money. Immediately started hauling hay and wood in it. It didn't bother my uncle as much as me. Luckily the kid totaled it soon after he bought it.
