How many of you dream everyday of what your Truck will look like..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Zumo · 06-18-2003, 11:43 AM

.....when completed? I even fantasize that I am driving it down the road while I am driving my daily commuter. Am I crazy?

**CPNE** · 06-18-2003, 11:48 AM

No you're not crazy, obsessed maybe, but who isn't?

As for me, I don't have to dream, just pull out some old dealer brochures and look at the pictures and illustrations!

Seriously, we all do, that's what keeps us motivated!

VTKidder · 06-18-2003, 11:54 AM

Everyone dreams of driving their completed trucks down the road...unfortunately, my thin wallet wakes me up every time!!!!

Project1970 · 06-18-2003, 12:25 PM

I just dream of having a 406, headers, full fresh exhaust, and an A/C that works perfectly

**1971Stepside** · 06-18-2003, 12:28 PM

Every day! Burned out, but not crazy....

**Palf70Step** · 06-18-2003, 12:45 PM

I dream of just having all the pieces back together and driving....Heck...I don't care if it is still multicolored. Paint....That'll be the next daydream.

*Shane* · 06-18-2003, 12:49 PM

dream of driving it ??? hell, I dream of when I will get to crank mine! LOL!

SEVEND2 · 06-18-2003, 01:04 PM

Ah yes the dream state......................

Well I been working on mine, off and on pending on $$$
for the last 10 years mainlygetting parts and misc 15 years more like it getting it movable.

I finally got it on the road, exhaust done motor running smooth for the most part. I had to hange out the PS pump and front brake calipers. Hopefully thats it, then.....

DREAM 1 Has came true

Dream 2 All one color primer with rust removed (then wife will ride in it)

Dream 3 , get painted, new bed wood, running perfect, Wet my pants, go on a hmm 5 -10 day run some where in it, like a route 66 type run. and wet my pants more and then???????????????????????????

(I AM CURRENTLY BETWEEN 1 AND 2 RIGHT NOW)

**JIMs70GMC** · 06-18-2003, 02:18 PM

Everyday! Also, dream of having another. And then getting 1 each for my sons. Also prying my wife out of her minivan and into a 71 K5. Oh the list goes on......

Davy · 06-18-2003, 02:28 PM

everyday! I am crazy.

All I can do is dream at this point...notice my sig.

mtdave2 · 06-18-2003, 03:51 PM

i did all the time as well,, untill i stumbled into my longhorn. it didnt need much at all to make it near perfect. after going both routes, i think its better to buy one already dont. then if you want get a 2nd to "restore" lol

dubie · 06-18-2003, 04:31 PM

I think about it everyday seeing how I can see my 72 from where I am sitting. I have even dreampt about cruising in it when it's finished. i have a crystal clear image of what I want it to look like when it's done. That is what drives me to try and finish it. And all the helpful words and support of all the members here.

Porkchop · 06-18-2003, 04:48 PM
