You Know You're a Hardcore Chevy/GMC Truck Fanatic When:

[Gregski]

you absolutely don't give a damn what people think of your truck, cause there are many like it, but this one is mine! and you sure as **** don't give a damn about other people's trucks, and the wife knows who parks over the oil stain in the garage and who's Honda stays out (ok just dreamin' on that one)

hugs,

When you have a friend pass away and all classic cars are lined up behind the hearse because he or she was a gearhead to give them a final cruise .This has happened way too many times in recent years .

When you ask your soon to be 15 year old son what he wants for a first car and he says a K5 Blazer and you leave work early, pull him out of school and drive 2 hours to get one.

Can I be adopted?

When you sign up to this awesome forum and create a build thread

[SeniorVerde]

"you should sell that stupid truck so you aren't always working on it and we can spend more time together!"

When you wave at another 67-72 chevy truck as you pass them on the road.

When you speed up because a 67-72 chevy truck just passed by and you want to see it more closely

When you spend $30,000 on it to make it pretty and still haul stuff in the bed because "it is a truck, after all"

I have chased other cars/trucks many times to get pictures of them on the road.

I'm there, but with my '68 Buick Skylark California GS. Interestingly, it's my wife who has wanted her dad's truck (in my sig) since he bought it in '73. She needn't have worried, she's an only child. Now that I've retired, I'm starting in on fixing 'im up.

[nzc10]

When my new born son is crying i go out and sit in the truck with him with a bit of Waylon Jennings or Jerry Reed playing on the radio he soon chills out

I'm currently sitting on my wife's bedside as she's in labor with our first, reading all these and dreaming about all my "kids". My little girl on the way,my 98,57,and72. Damn good thing my wife's not a member on here to see this or I'd be dead:-) although she's a dang good sport for putting up with my old chevy addiction.

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

[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!
