I would never call Mark a hoarder. With these truck parts there is only "owning". It's a stash, not a hoard. Gotta have the stuff to do the stuff you want to do to stuff, so you stuff it into sheds!

Funny, I think Mark and I are close in age and I am right where he is at with truck building. Had a 35 year stash of trucks and parts in these years and came to the point where I figure I'd be happy with a couple, a last year factory K2500 with some nice options and a first year li'l shortbed C1500 hot rod built from the ground-up just the way I like. There are many other things I'd like to do with my life before it's over,, and other vehicles I hope to own. I'm not getting out of it, it's been my life. I'm making my 67-72 GM Truck interest more 'manageable'.

I'm pretty sure I'm 'cured' now. Although I still buy stuff I know I need, I have passed up many chances for big bargains. I passed this $500 deal that was offered to me on to my friend:
