The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 2nd AD truck project - wife really thinks I am nuts

OK, while searching for parts for my '48, I picked up an S-10 chassis that I have no plans on using. So after buying a cab and front clip from Daryl (Darylbb63) in Denver ( I am picking up this weekend), my automotive-attention-deficit-disorder kicked in. Take the cab, put on S-10 frame, find or make a bed, use the bent rear fenders from the '48, add a motor / trans and I have a second truck. Then a sweet deal on a Cummins 3.3 diesel came my way, so.......2nd AD truck Project is in process with 5-speeds, 4 cylinders of screaming turbocharged diesel and a grin from ear to ear.

It helped that I sold my two '40 Chev Deluxe Sedans (at least with the wife).

So am I nuts, or just a sufferer of AADD?

The problems we face today can not be addressed without more trucks - OldSub.

You can quote me.

A mans' gotta do what a mans' gotta do! BIG CHEVY 3600

And you can quote me as well.

That's right! And you can tell my first two wives the same thing for me!!!

"And you can quote me as well" Too!!!

He who dies with the most trucks......

.....Still Dies!

Sounds like a cool project, I saw an AD put on a longbed 4x4 Toyota frame once. That was the best thing that ever happened to that Toyota! I like diesel power, until I go to the pump now days, seems to take a major bite out of my wallet.

OK, I am back now from 2500 miles of staring at a windshield. FYI - Chevrolet Astro Vans make really bad tow vehicles from a mileage standpoint. I would have gotten better mileage from a 20 year old truck.
