well, not sure... but I hear you're not allowed to invest unless you can spell bicycle correctly :p

teasing... just look around online...

I researched the 67-69 C10 before purchasing. I've seen some in the same shape as mine sitting for sale at 4-5k (which a better paint job) I've seen really good examples at 14-15k... I've seen restored examples for 30-40k.

A member of a classic pickup board had his...'68 (I think) appraised for 28k... I'm going to keep the final price of this truck, including purchasing price, under 20k... that should ensure that by the time I'm done I get my money back.

Even if gasoline becomes so outrageously priced, to the point where the common person rarely drives (which we know it won't get that far b/c then the oil companies lose money) my truck will still be worth something to the rich who can afford ****ty gas mileage and awesome cars/trucks.

My investments are more long term minded though... I don't expect to see a return on this stuff within 10-15 years... more like 20-30 years out.

My short term investment is going to be getting back into school and ensuring that I keep my awesome, well paying job, for the next 10-20 years
