I started with one truck and now I have like 10 to 15 trucks of all ages and sizes. I just wanted to see how many others have the addiction like I do. Here are some pictures of my trucks. Thanks Brad photobucket photobucket

As long as you're counting non runners and parts trucks, I think I have 9.
I don't have a Photobucket account, so no pics. Sorry.

Brad, I don't have that many trucks (only have 5), but looking at your trucks I really like your '56 6400 Holmes 515 Wrecker, to me that's a classic...it even has the 540 Axle Cradle. Do you have all of the hardware to use the cradle? Whether you have one or 50 trucks this hobby does get under your skin...it is a sickness we all share...lol Mike B

Mike is right, it is kind of a sickness.
And the bigger the truck or car, the more I like it.
Also, don't get me started on anvils.
Back up to ten over 75 pounds.
Having a wife that like these things also, does not help.

Mike B, I Don't have the forks for the cradle on this one but I have some from another truck. And 2 ton I am the same way the bigger and stranger the better it is. All my friends want the pick ups and I take the 1 tons and bigger. You guys make me feel a little better because I think I may have too many sometimes.
Thanks
Brad

I think I enjoy more, to save them from the scrap yards.
Maybe sell them latter, for about the same money, to someone that will save them.
Like I tell the wife, this hobby keeps me out of the bars and we have plenty of room to park them. Several, she does not even know about.
Got a 52 M-37 to Big John at the Homecoming last spring, just as an example.

Hy guys, I too enjoy saving larger "unpopular" trucks from the scrap man, I know I have over fifty, but I'm afraid to actually count how many I have. Hopefully someone will want to restore some of them as I will not live long enough to do that, but they haven't been scrapped.
