I doubt that will happen. He doesn't strike me as the regretting type....I know I'm sure not. Everytime I have taken the road he's on it's been for the better...no regrets!

LuckyHenriksen · 07-20-2009, 11:37 AM

Well I really would like to get some of the money back out, but I packed all the parts in the bed and shrink wrapped the engine and trans in preparation or storage in the shop. If it doesn't sell, maybe I will have the motivation later in life.

LuckyHenriksen · 07-20-2009, 11:38 AM

One of the reasons for wanting to sell is that being 18 and having 4 registered and titled vehicles in my name is kinda crazy. I want to narrow it down to the daily and the motorcycle

72chevyfleet · 10-28-2009, 07:23 PM

pshh if i were u i would never get rid of it that thing is ****in killer with those fat tires on it and its just plain ****ing awesome!!

LuckyHenriksen · 10-31-2009, 07:22 PM

Haha ohh I sold it, actually parted it out, and I kind of regret it

72chevyfleet · 11-01-2009, 03:56 PM

Lame!!!!

texanidiot25 · 11-01-2009, 04:17 PM

Highly disappointed

oldblue1968chevy · 11-01-2009, 04:24 PM

jgh64pkup · 12-12-2009, 01:20 AM

dude WTF
that truck would have been awesome

MrBeast · 12-12-2009, 03:37 AM

Man, that is a bummer, id have really liked to have seen you finish that truck. It had the potential to be a great one.

**wancosc356** · 12-12-2009, 04:45 AM

Bummed out too. Just went through 26 pages of reading and looking at photos to find out its gone.

Fireshaker · 02-06-2010, 01:38 AM

Huge Bummer man. I've set here for the past hour reading about this freakin' awesome truck. I've been thinking about getting a 72' for a wile now and finally found one just have to get to it.

I have to say I saw the sale coming when you started the new engine, the pictures started getting fewer and fewer..

Sucks you sold it make, it was very inspiring!

oldblue1968chevy · 09-04-2010, 05:23 PM

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-04-2010, 05:58 PM

onetoncrewcab · 09-05-2010, 02:00 AM

AAAARRRRRRRGH!

I just read through 26 pages of postings and I get to the end.....and he parts it out!

Not surprising though....he did post that he had a serious girlfriend....same thing happened to me when I was 18 and my priorities changed too. lol

LuckyHenriksen · 09-10-2010, 11:43 PM

****. I go back and re-read my entire thread and feel pangs of heartache. Looking at all the trouble I went through, and how I was so close to being done at the end. I hope everyone who reads this learns from my mistakes! If I could go back I would never have sold it, even if I lost interest. Just park it until you get that spark again. I hope everyone here is doing well, I am sorry to have let you down. I am considering tracking down the guy I sold it to and trying to buy it back. Oh but how life's priorities change. Now I only buy project cars that run and drive from the start haha. I will keep checking in on this thread to maybe help answer any questions. Take care everyone

oldblue1968chevy · 09-11-2010, 02:09 PM

Buy it back, you were on a roll man, we ALL HATED to see it go, it was quite inspring to me, you answered alot of my stupid questions too

Find another one?..

What are your current projects?

72chevyfleet · 09-11-2010, 04:03 PM

i wanna see you buy it back that was inspiration that is what i wanna do to mine fat tires in the back something that will cook the tires on the back

LuckyHenriksen · 09-12-2010, 12:31 AM

Well I can't get a hold of the guy, I will try driving by his place. If anything just to see if he ever put a motor in it ( I sold it as a roller). I can't afford more junk right now anyways haha.

As far as projects go, I have been messing around with old BMW's, I have an old 3 series coupe I would like to swap the same LS motor into. I have also been making some money buying/selling/parting out old air cooled VW stuff. I also helped a buddy get his '55 Stepside project going. I will post a picture

It makes me proud to see how many people were following the build, and sad to let you down. If I end up doing more LS stuff or old trucks I will definitely let you guys know

LuckyHenriksen · 09-12-2010, 12:42 AM

Here is the '55

I have given it the sweet rattle can paint, we rebuilt the stock brakes, and dropped in the cleaned up 350. Pretty simple

heavy71chevy · 10-21-2010, 12:02 PM

damn man...I was really wanting to see it done but i understand...I did the same thing to my 71 last fall.Im gonna pick a replacemnt up after taxes come in(found a 72 long bed)...hey on the flip side tho your still wrenchin

Chevy350V8 · 10-26-2010, 09:09 PM

Nice Truck!

oldblue1968chevy · 10-26-2010, 09:10 PM

hey lucky, any updates on anything? Where ya been? I LOVED YOUR TRUCK

50bomb · 01-02-2011, 05:01 PM

I am glad I didn't read all the pages and skipped to the end cause I was inspired and still am. You really put alot of money in parts and your like me. We put all the money into things change it and end up selling it or trading it and losing alot of our money. I learned though not to long ago not to do that again.
