I want this truck soooo bad. I don’t need it. I can’t justify the cost, bargain though it is (the FOR SALE sign lists the price at $6,500). I have nowhere to park it. But I really really like it and would love to own it. Is that wrong?
It’s just a great looking truck. 1972 Chevy C/40. Dump box on the back, snowplow on the front. New paint all over the place. 72,000 or so on the odometer. It’s a little banged up here & there, especially in the box and the tailgate, but the fresh paint makes a lot of that very tolerable. Let’s see… I could quit my job and start a snow plowing service… Or I could keep my job and do snow plowing in my spare time (yeah, right!) Or I could just buy it to replace the Suzuki (that’d make the morning commute interesting!)
Sigh. For now it just sits there at the corner of 9th & Kiwanis Ave., where I drive by it twice or more a day, just making me want it. It’s for sale and everything… Yet so unreachable. It just looks like some big red Tonka toy, and I want to take it out & play with it.
Gotta get (and keep) my covet under control. This big red Tonka truck makes it tough though.
