I proably spend 5-10 times the amount of time on this board talking about trucks then i spend working on and driving my truck combined.......that is sad, lol. On the plus side, hanging out on here is free and working on my truck is exenisve

I'm sure i'm not the only one with this "problem".....

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 09-18-2003, 09:51 PM

krue · 09-18-2003, 10:40 PM

I gotta say I have a similar problem! Lately tho' I have been working on the truck more. I drive my truck on a semi-daily driver basis so I need to keep it running.

Wish i had your problem ED!!!

i have come to conclusion that when you spend all of your time on the board you are in your tempory burn out stage, for the time being you like it like it is and dont want ( or need ) to do anything to it.

Longhorn Man · 09-19-2003, 11:33 PM

Man, i been burned out for a while then huh?
My truck thrives on neglect. So I get to play on here a bit more. (daily driver too...if it don't run, I don't work)

crazy longhorn · 09-20-2003, 12:04 AM

With all the tricks & tips on the board, its just a "shot in the arm"(gets an old man revved). I have been playing trucks for a long time, & had several daily drivers in the 67-72 bracket. my longhorn was driven home in the end of Dec 1984, & completely dismantled. what started to be a resto, with a few up grades.....went a little wild! she is down for the season, the leaf springs are laying on the floor. I had thoughts on building a 2 link/air bag setup.....but the 4 bar looks much better! while Im in there, I just as well c notch the frame, & make good use of the bags

I still dont have the door glass done after chopping the top, & still "pimpin in primer", but its a wild ride when Im "rowin" gears, & does draw some attention when its on the street! No, I doubt that the old truck will ever be really done.......you just keep adding on
