Don't want to hijack the thread but I like the Vornado in your avatar Hubscrub. I have one as well and I'm in the process of painting it like a P-51 engine shroud.

In spite of that, this one was still my favorite:

I have one more touch to make that eng and trans combo Bullet proof Gear Vender on the rear of your bell housing turn you 4-5 speed in to a 8 speed or a 10 speed by splitting gears

[stsalvage]

We stepped into the garage to leave, and she said "we're taking my car aren't we, it has heated seats". I said "my houndstooth covers are warm". Believe it or not, she got in.

Come to think of it, I have two vehicles of my own with heated seats, and I still drive the Longhorn.

[best view]

on your trucks birthday you bring the cake with candels and put it by the tailpipe and tell it to make a wish and also tell him or her she can invite friends

hahahahahaha!

now this is hardcore. Risking death just to post on the websitebecause if she reads this, she's going to kill you

[Lou Boffa]

When you want another one to keep the one you have "company!"

[Ontcalimo]

When you spend too much time on this 67-72 c10 website.

[Oregon 1967 GMC]

you're hardcore when you use your '67 GMC to tow the '91 Camry from Texas to Oregon with the family in the GMC and the dog in the Camry. Stopping once in awhile to make sure the dog's ok of course.

[magwakeenercew2jh]

You know you're hardcore when you start thinking about tearing down something that already works
as well as it ever will.

And, especially if you plan whatever you're about to screw up based upon how many small parts it has.
Because you miss seeing the UPS Man in your driveway after five years of his daily visits.

When you actually READ stuff like this!

[KyleSeal]

When you save old rusted parts and frozen bolts because they belonged to your truck.

[no1udknow]

when your conversation about xmas lists goes like this....

[Lees68GMC]

When you insist that it's important to polish the firewall in your C10 survivor before you put another old scungy small block V8 in to replace the old 6

[don t. - 72gmc]

When you work a part time job for 5 years, to erect a pole barn, so the wife can have her garage back for the winter.

When we're on the road, the wife points out old trucks before I see them.

Mine was similar except mine mentioned interior leather, fiberglass, and sheet metal....to make a console. Ah and a set of 15x10 rallies for the back

When you have more money into paying for storage/shop space than you have into your truck.

I have been paying for storage or shop space in one way or another since 1998 for a 1967 Chevy CST project that I bought for $600.

[flashed]

When you pay more per month on insurance for your classics than most pay for a mortgage payment .

[D.PASSMORE]

I have spare bedrooms dedicated to parts storage - two different locations.

Also, had my master bedroom stacked with parts while rebuilding my Blazer, it was closer to the garage.

Getting married helped with the sickness, but come to find out, she is afflicted too...

Thank God!

[Pondscum]

How bout making sure you bring your good parts in the house so they are safe.

Using a small grain bin as parts storage instead of using for feed.

Also picked up a parts truck while at girlfriends class reunion, glad I went after that.

Finding fathers old 72 trucks(still trying to buy them)

Buying newer trucks so when they rust out you can use the drivetrain in a 67-72
