Happy birthday Bill, If you run out of room, just bring them to my house. I will find some room for them. Oh..just make sure they are 51 & 52 models.

 

Thanks Kevin!! I am sure I will have room. I finally drove the 56 out on the road today. Why don't you consider a 1 1/2 hour trip to my place with the 51 wrecker? I hope you are going to paint your coe like tomoto's!!!! Maybe purple !!!! M y bus.partner was here yesterday,and we weren't home--but he left a note saying he found a 56coe out west---woooohoooo---alright!!!! Bill

 

I found 2 more last week. A 57 F500 for $200, a 56 F600 for $600 . The 57 is worth more than that in SCRAP and the 56 still has alot of good parts, so as soon as I find a hauler theyll be comming home.

I have 6 56's and I plan on many more in the future. I like how some people are all talk and no action! Just do it if you are going to do it!

I do it all the time, sometimes she even likes it! I think I am up to 15 buying and selling now, but I know there are more to come! I want to grow up to be just like bigwin56. Although, now I have to add on to my garage now that he is building a bigger one!

 

A BIGGER one it is! 30' X 60' and I cant wait! I will know more on the 28th of this month as to when we can break ground.

Maybe so, but he is dead none the less.

 

i spread my cash between as many trucks as i can, to me one project just isn't enough to think about. and i really enjoy finding/buying a good deal also

also don't forget spare parts, i figure i need a spare engine/tranny and axles for everything i own, just because....

 

I have a ranchette in Florida on 2 acres and 2 outbuildings and a new barn there also. Plenty of room to keep lot's of trucks for the long winter months. Plus it keeps the vintage tin--nice and shiny!!!! yea--whoever dies with the most toys is sure to have their families feuding over the toys!!----Bill

 

I agree; would rather have 5 daily drivers than 1 trailer queen.

 

Got Three And Looking At Two More ! My Neighbors Will Be Callin' The Law Here Before Long . Was Gonna Sell The Two 55's To My S. In Law But He And My Daughter Keep Changing Their Minds { I Gave Him One Of 'em But I Want To Break Even On The Mostly Complete One On The 74 Frame !} My Wife Says They're Ugly And I Sure Dont Want To Tall Her About The Two 56's One A 3/4 Ton The Other A 1/2 Ton . You Might Be Reading My Obit The Next Day . My Uncle Has A " Farm " As He Calls It With A Huge Morton Building He Says I Can Put 'em There , Geuss I Should Eh ? My Answer : One Can Never Have Enough Cool Toys . Go For It !!!!!!!

 

Thanks FTE men and ladies!!!!You have overwhelmingly voted to buy as many as you can----and not put a mint into just one. Total show trucks are just that--and I want mine to use and drive. I hope to bring home a few with the Phoenix trip,and the marm-herr is comin' and a f100 frame and ---well you know ---I love to talk-----and buy!!!haha!!!!!thanks everyone---maybe I will get my fill soon!!!!!

 

That`s what I used to think....Now I know that will never happen soon.

 

what fomoko said, its an addiction, fer sure

 

The more the merrier, When I was into MGs and Triumphs I had 14 in my lifetime. And 3 at the same time. When I started the Ford Truck Kraze I started with 2 Go for it

2 1950 F-1s
N.E. Ohio

 

When I drove older Pintos years back I had at least 2 or 3 for spares.
At the peak I had 5 Pintos crammed into my 24 x 40 shop, I could go from one end to the other without touching the shop floor.
