Ok, so a lot of people have suggested that I be looking for something a
bit farther along in terms of condition and so forth for a first
project. And in some ways, I can see the point. Actually, I can see it
in a lot of ways. I'm sure I could probably find something that is
running AND YET needs a rebuild. See, my entire premise here is that I
want something that I will be tearing completely down (or most of the
way down) and putting back together, more for the educational value than
anything. But I suppose doing this with something that is already proven
to work would be better than something that probably hasn't run in 20
years. Also, I guess then I can go and tear things apart as I have time
and still use it in the meantime as opposed to having to wait 5 years to
run it at all. Wifey would probably like that better, too. ;)
So, that being said, Devin's suggestion above warrants some thinking.
Even if I didn't reconstruct those two trucks, is there still enough of
a calling for the parts thereof to part them out and get the cash to get
something a bit newer as such? It's a thought. If nothing else, I'd
learn from disassembling them even if I didn't bother to reassemble them
as such.
