You wouldn't believe how bad even if I told you.

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

We'll let's see, I have 7 parts trucks, a shop full of engines and trannys (including several Diesels, 2 BBC's, and 351 GMC V6) plus about 15 other cars and non 67-72 trucks. I think I qualify as a bonafide PARTS SLUT!!!:lol:

If I told you, I'd have admitted a serious mental problem and be in need of an intervention. It's a hobby..aint it? Wait..I dont have hobbies so the wife says.

A few more

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

No and you cant make me say I am... I think we all need help.. I am tring to sell off some of the stuff really I am..

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

Being in town, I definitely am not in most of you folks league. I think if I find me another cab (and motor tranny), I have enough to build another 2wb SWB, and still have a few things hanging out in the shop and parts shed.

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

hehe, back when i had a place to part out trucks, my cousin and myself would have as many as 30 trucks at a time. now i just pick up parts as i find them--no more whole trucks, too many *****y neighbors .
i still think it's only a hobby, it's not a sickness:crazy:

If you can list it all in a post,then it isn`t worth mentioning.:sexy:

Anyone up for a trip to Alabama???...We need to help purge him of his ho-ness

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

I was thinking the same thing. I definitly help anyone with this problem

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

If I had the space I would be.:crazy:

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

oh, i still have more than i need even though i live in town, just nothing compared to "the old days", but thats how i ended up with so many option goodies for my own trucks. THEN, i got into N.O.S. parts for my own trucks and since i have two trucks, i had to get two of everything--no wonder i'm always broke.:whine:

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

NO!! The folks who retain ownership of such items are Preservationists, not parts whores. Any decent registered truck nut has to be a preservationist. Being called a parts whore may be part of the personna, but we ain't no stinkin' parts whore!! We are saving the good stuff for future generations.

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

I am a Hubcap whore!

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

:)I don't believe we are parts whores we just feel the need to own a fleet of the variety of these trucks and we 'need' enough of the parts to start a new fleet if need be!:lol:

As long as when someone asks you aren't going to " Fix it up someday" and leave them to rot into the ground y'all are Okay!

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

That's what my wife and mother call me.Every since I moved to Austria, I have been ordering parts for my trucks and Camaro and having them sent to my Moms house. She just threatened me yesterday about having a parts sell in her front yard.

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

Another part of this is how far you will drive to get a part that you really don't actually need at the time. I have driven hundreds of miles for stuff just to have it!

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

:lol:Me too!I have a cab I went to SW Virginia for(remember,Big Bill?),rolling chassis from Florida,HO52No-Spin from MA,327 from NJ that I had rebuilt when I got home,and a set of rears pulled off a truck in January sittin`on a trailer at a Home Depot in Carlisle,PA(seller was from Kansas)...all layin`around waiting to be used.

Not to mention,parts we have shipped from all over the country.I bet there`s some good stories there.

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

i'm more of an NOS whore, but i do have several parts trucks so i can go any direction i want with the truck if i want to.

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

Engines, I just can't get myself to let them go, I have 6 454s and 4 350s plust a few TH400s and a 700r4 I know I wil use someday.

Re: Are you a parts whore?
 

I was getting that way.... but I'm trying to get rid of some of it!
