too many trucks
I now have:
68 C10 (short wide) driver/project 68 K20 (3/4 4x4) project 75 K5 (Blazer 3/4 4x4) plow truck 79 K10 (1/2 long 4x4) driver/project just too many trucks!!! It's time to cull the heard I'm gonna get rid of a couple. That is a problem. I like them all ...Maybe my wife is right, maybe I should just sell everything and buy a new truck.  just kidding. It is however, time to make some decisions.

Re: too many trucks
Since you CAN'T get rid of the 68 K20 (clearly the gem of the bunch), might as well keep the 68 C10 and confine yourself to a single era, you know, for maximum parts interchangeability
 And say adios to the squares. I've tried this before though and it didn't work, so good luck.

Re: too many trucks
You need to do what too much stuff does- identify at least (1) as the (wifes). I have (4) 71-72 trucks- you're normal

Re: too many trucks
OH please don't do that.See i have a test for all new GM or ford or dodge truck owners.Lets drop a 350 long black on the back of the tail gate.if you can close it its a good truck to my 1965 3/4 ton
I rather have a old truck with a newer motor LS then buy a peace of plastic crap |

Re: too many trucks
You're fine with four. I carved my corral down to two 67-72s and it's an uneasy feeling.

Re: too many trucks
No space here to have a fleet! If I had the space and money I'd be in trouble!
