Well today I met a guy with a 50 3/4 ton chevy and I asked him in all seriousness if it was for sale.It looks like it may be a possibility. So what is wrong with me? A year ago I wasn't looking for even one old truck and here I am trying to by a second one already. Is this some kind of malady? Is the condition permanent?---Jack | | | | | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 86 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 86 | Welcome to the disease....

You don't have a 'condition' until you buy that third one. There are some 'truck hogs' on this site. If they have more than two under their name, block them. They are a bad influence.

But a good one. Builds self esteem, sense of pride, get waves from chic's, and gives you a reason to throw wrenches and tire tools. Good gosh, I love it  I haven't "totally" finished any of mine and I'm already looking for the nest one. Did some one say this is a disease? They will even break down on you in the middle of no-where.

If this is a disease I am proud to be a carrier, so don't come close unless you also want this affliction also. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Bobb, your sure a fine one to talk. A man with BARNS full of trucks, stacked on top of one another, certainly knows what a disease this hobby can be. Heck, you even had a car "up in the rafters".
