3rd truck in 2 months - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sixbangr · 05-31-2010, 06:48 PM

2 months ago I bought a '63 long fleet. 2 weeks ago I bought a '64 long fleet with a 292. Looks like I may be buying a '61 short step side. What the devil am i doing? Think I like the '61 better than the other 2.

You are sick my friend but you are in good hands here with us and the same type of syndrome

*LILRED66* · 05-31-2010, 06:55 PM

You are have the dreaded '60-'66 Chevy/GMC truck disease...it is all good, especially since you are in Kansas. I see you are near Goodland. I was just through there a few weeks ago on my way back from Phoenix.

Just so you know... there is help out there to get over your disease, and with many long years of therapy (and wife's b****ing) you too will be free of this addiction. On another note, you won't find any of that kind of help here...!!! So keep buying...and give us lots of pictures. I too suffer from your same disease, and as they say the first step to recovering is admitting you have a problem. Well I have a problem... and NO I don't want to recover from it...LOL

Hah! I suffer from the same disease!

I bought 1 pickup- then a suburban- then another pickup for a parts donor(but it was in such good shape that I started driving it) then another "parts" suburban.

These trucks are just too much fun!

There's so many ways you can go with them that I want one of each!

There doesn't sound like there's any problem to me.....

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-01-2010, 10:26 AM

I am with Captain.. Sounds normal..

Just do what I do, dump all of your extra cash into one so you don't have any left to buy another truck (although I did just find a decent 60 GMC short step about 10 minutes from my house).

I keep staring at a 4-5-6 short-step that is parked in someone's yard just up the road from my shop. Looks like it could be a driver too. I'm feeling guilty because I too just got my '65 long fleet and have a long way to go on the build. Funny thing was my wife caught me staring the other day, all she said was "oh boy". All I know is I didn't hear a "no" in there...

Point is: we are all sick like this, that's what makes this life so much fun.

your almost halfway there. get the '60,'62,'65,and '66 maybe a suburban and a 4x4 in there somewhere, finish the collection ...and call it quits!

bubba327 · 06-02-2010, 11:07 PM

Yup-- It is a sickness but I am not ready to quit yet!!

I do not think it is terminal ... just temporary .....
