Maybe the lift bed wasn't worth the investment. The crated turnkey high-output 350 was nice but I had to add the Holley Sniper EFI. Just recently I swapped in a 750R4 and now it's 2200 rpm at 75. Perfect interior. Doesking white leather bench. Flawless dash.

This is a '79 Sierra Classic half-ton on an '83 4WD 3/4 ton.

And then I remodeled my restaurant, way over budget and ran out of cash. I have about $35k into it. Do y'all think anybody will bail me out?

We're open. Just waiting for the bar finish to cure. Come and get it! ;-)
Where at? I'm probably close enough that I might drive by and stop in while camping and wandering over the summer!

What restaurant?
And beautiful job on the truck!
All honesty though, even for the right buyer I don’t think it’s a $35k truck or even close, unfortunately.
Dump bed? Awesome. But not a lot of folks want an expensive antique truck for a work truck that would make real use of a dump bed.
And the expensive pavement princess antique truck guys may not find value in the Frankenstein build.
But it’s also worth more than most of them out there. So put it for sale and remember you can never ask more than asking price… start a little high, unless you are in a time crunch to sell it.
Love the truck!

Sorry to say you never get out of them what you have in them. Good looking truck, I just don't see 35K.

I never considered it an investment. If somebody doesn't get it from me I'll keep spending. Always something. Cruise control. Power down hydraulic cylinder.
