So when do these trucks officially become an addiction? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ronh72c10 · 06-30-2004, 01:01 PM

If I'm not offically addicted, I'm close. Bought another 72, this time a 72 3/4ton Burb. This is the 3rd project truck in less than a year. I guess to fill out the 72 collection I now need a 72 Blazer.

I hate to break it to ya, but you're already addicted. First stage is denial!!!

Bamm · 06-30-2004, 01:14 PM

I'm not addicted either...

I can quit anytime i want to....

I don't have a problem

Oh well, maybe I am a 67-72 junkie

Might as well enjoy the ride..............Jerry the "Junkie"

grayw0lf · 06-30-2004, 01:29 PM

As soon as you start thinkin about what you'll fix up first, its an addiction. If you have to ask, then your already addicted. Try to even it out by drankin beer while you work on the truck.

**COBALT** · 06-30-2004, 01:43 PM

When the first place you go on the web is this message board.

*dtlilly* · 06-30-2004, 02:00 PM

It's like crack man...it pulls you in from the very first time you try it...there is no known cure either...you can walk away from it, but it will always be on your mind. The first time you smell the "old truck smell" again, you will be back buying junk that needs work. Have Fun...everyone is doing it!!

67chevemall · 06-30-2004, 02:10 PM

U ARE AN ADDICT! Full fledge junkie! Welcome to the show! Is everyone in? The show is going to begin!

silvertonguedevil · 06-30-2004, 02:13 PM

hi. I'm silvertonguedevil and I'm an addict.

Man, that felt good to get off of my chest!!

Zumo · 06-30-2004, 02:18 PM

When you do this while you are at work.........

67chevemall · 06-30-2004, 02:33 PM

Oh it's so much better at work!Zumo!

dubie · 06-30-2004, 02:42 PM

OOOHHHHHHH!! thats so cooool!! and the addiction is instant bud

cheyenne10 · 06-30-2004, 03:19 PM

Addicted is when you have a custom made tow bar to fit the front frame horns to tow home your next project and you carry it around with you. Hey, I'm not there yet but looks like a slick way to talk myself into more non-drivers!!

ronh72c10 · 06-30-2004, 03:28 PM

Well it's good to have such a great support group for my addiction. The problem is that most support groups don't sell you your addiction.

Gimme another truck, I need one now!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-30-2004, 03:37 PM

I'M IN DENIAL, ADDICTION WAS A LONG TIME AGO

I NEED HELP

MY PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE 20 ACRES, SO I CAN STORE ALOT OF THINGS
FOR ME AND MY FRIENDS

IT IS LIKE A BIG ASS PARKING LOT FOR KIDS.

ONLY ISSUES THAT I SEEM TO HAVE ARE $$$ AND MRS. COATS

**jamie72** · 06-30-2004, 04:51 PM

ron ,
first clue was with an 18 hour road trip...nice addition.

jamie

gabet40 · 06-30-2004, 05:05 PM

fortunately (or UNfortunately?) my addiction is limited to the money that i have to put into these trucks. which has been extremely limited these days

stingray72 · 06-30-2004, 05:16 PM

When you buy the 72 2wd Jimmy that you've been wanting and know you need to get rid of the 70 C-10 but just can't force yourself to do so. You then are addicted

3rdGenrationChevyman · 06-30-2004, 05:29 PM

yep... Im thinking about quitting smoking to afford more parts...I also threaten my boss with an ass whoopin when he tells me to get offn` the internet at work (this site) I think Im addicted...

I dig it...

**BOSS** · 06-30-2004, 05:39 PM

I think it starts when you get your first truck,they like to breed.!!

jcueckert13 · 06-30-2004, 06:05 PM

signs your addicted:
1. you found this message board
2. you joined this message board
3. you can tell the difference between a 67 and 68
4. you have ever ordered a lmc catalog
5. you know where the problem areas for rust are

crazy longhorn · 06-30-2004, 07:11 PM

My addiction started about 25yrs ago....no turning back now! I have had several daily drivers in the 67-72 era, & at one time had enough parts to build a couple extra trucks. the wifey got a little p'oed when the rental trailer with parts cost more than the truck parts(back from kentucky , on vacation)

that was many yrs ago, & she finally gave up fighting the issue(that was the only choice

). i still have 1 in my stable.....that old longhorn is the one that has drawn the most blood. Still not painted after all these yrs, but i can turn the key in the switch & go play. that old truck gets a lot of looks, runs like "stink" , & is a handfull to hang onto at times! rule #1, DO NOT stand on an eaton posi while going around a corner! As long as that old truck is , she will turn around fast on that "rear wheel steer".....yes i am an addict......i doubt that will change very soon tho....crazyL

*Randy70C-10* · 06-30-2004, 08:06 PM

I'm addicted to the message board.

Also, anything with wheels and an engine that's made in USA.

Bill72BB · 06-30-2004, 09:33 PM

I realized I had a problem when the first place I go on the net is too my Hotmail account to see what post have been responded to .
The wife don't mind me being here at least she knows I'm not out chasing woman ,( which at my age I can't catch anyway)
