Dang, that's alot of space there. I wouldn't have enough stuff to fill all that up. Of course it would get filled eventually I'm sure. Seems like it doesn't matter how much space you have, you just acumulate more stuff.

We bought a pool table off a guy on craigslist and had it move to the new house, thinking it would fit in a bonus room upstairs. It would have fit, but then you would have to play with the little shorty sticks, which sucks. So I had them set it up in the garage. So now that it's taking up that space, it's really going to be a squeeze getting everything in.

They fill up quick. I have 3 rides of my own plus the wifes. I plan to order a lift soon...but the 40x40 has L&R side roll ups but is missing the center door, (PO had it built that way) so I need to order one of those 1st. That and see about having the roof rebuilt...its a lightweight steel building and I'd prefer it have a heavier steel frame.

So I have been trying to get my priority list straight after moving to the new house. I really want to get back to work on the truck, but won’t have a shop for quite a while. In all reality with as much as I have going on all the time, I really don’t have a ton of time to spend on it right now anyway. So, I’m thinking about putting her up for sale.

I’ve been going back and forth on it for quite a while now, and it seems like the right thing to do. I ran it by my wife the other night, and she didn’t think I was serious. After we talked about it, she said, if I did decide to sell it, I should buy another one after we get the shop built. It just seems like the time isn’t right, right now to have a project truck in the garage. So she might end up on Craigslist, and we will see what happens.

You might be my favorite poster on here after seeing your username! Looks like you have done lots of work on it so far. I would hate to see you sell it. I say hold on to it if you aren't needing the money/space, enjoy the basketball season (looks promising!), and start back up on it when you get the shop done. And Go Pokes!, gopokes :hm:

Man, I just read through the entire build thread (gotta love the night shift!) the truck has come so far, and is turning out very awesome!! Don't sell it!! You'll end up regretting it!!

Man, I can't believe it's been over a year since I've posted on here. I didn't ever pull the trigger on selling the truck, but it has just been sitting this whole time. Had a crazy busy year, along with having our house flood because of a faulty line on our water heater upstairs.

I did decide to get back to working on the truck though. I went out to pull it out of the garage to assess where I should begin, and she wouldn't start up. After some checking, I found out the fuel pump was cratered. Got a new one ordered and installed, and as I was standing there listening to it run, I started seeing a puddle of liquid growing out from under the truck. The smell quickly let me know it was gas!! I jumped in and killed it, and realized I had a fuel line pop loose. Guess that's what I get for letting her sit for a year...

After I checked all my fuel lines, I fired her up again and she ran like a top. I'm going to leave the bed off so I can continue the rust repair, so hopefully I will update this again before a year goes by. Here is a little video I shot right before the gas lake started forming.

Just read through the whole build it looks good I am on year 9 of my build but I just started collecting some more parts and more importantly money to get it done. I am going to throw a build thread together soon.
