Road trippin with too much stuff... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 03-01-2021, 05:51 PM

Just got back from a 7 state, 3100 mile journey in 7 days.
Got to meet up with some truck guys, hit up some junk yards, and a swap meet in northern texas. Weather was mostly good this year. (didn't get stuck in iowa for 2 1/2 days like last time)...
Away we go...
First hour and a half when i left was black ice... No fun.

First truck i found was an odd combo.

**too much stuff** · 03-01-2021, 05:55 PM

Some more stuff along the way.

**too much stuff** · 03-01-2021, 05:59 PM

A few more...

Check out the trim ring around the tree...

Black and orange combo on what was left of a gmc in the last pic

**too much stuff** · 03-01-2021, 06:02 PM

Enough window shopping, time to get some stuff!

**Louisvillekytruck** · 03-01-2021, 06:05 PM

Very cool pics

Had a buddy send me a link to a craigslist ad last fall. Had a different buddy about 4.5 hours away that was close to the item and went and picked it up for me. I grabbed it at his place on my way south. It was kind of part of the road trip, but not purchased on the trip...

Thats all for now, Enjoy and get out there and start finding this stuff! ( i can't find everything by myself...)

Sidewinder Winch, had one of them on my 72 Cheyenne Super SWB 4x4 years ago. Can't recall if I ever used it but it was there.

Great looking Trip! Black and hugger orange combo! Nice looking cabs with cab lights! Trim ring probably the one 72 Super has been looking for!

So does that mean that after many years of marriage they finally get used to, and accept it, or do you have to have one that’s understanding from the beginning? If it’s the latter I’m screwed

Davidf · 03-04-2021, 11:48 AM

My wife has told me I am done with restoring vehicles now that my truck is complete.

**lolife99** · 03-04-2021, 12:52 PM

Great pics.
I would love to do a trip like that.
