Where do you put all of your trucks?

Question? When I look at the post people put up and at the end of the persons file I see all these trucks that are listed by the owners....Where do you guys put them all?

stacking them on their sides allows for a couple more in the loft. Actually having a big back yard can be a catchall. trick is to keep it all yours, and not your brothers, sisters, fathers, friends, co-workers, etc... And then the real hard part: keeping your wife somewhat happy by not making it look out of control, lol.

Umm...one is in my driveway and the other is at my parents house in their driveway. Seems odd to have it there, but I was going to start the body work and can't get away with spraying paint in town.

I live on a farm with pole buildings. It all depends on what time of year it is as to where my trucks are.

The F-2 and the driveable panel are in a pole building in the back of the farm. A place that's not easy to get to when there's snow on the ground. During the summer they come up to the building by the house and my daily driver sits outside. During the winter the daily driver gets to sit inside the shed.

The F-4 is currently sitting where it has been sitting for the last four years, in my bussiness shop taking up room. The idea is to have the truck inside so I can work on it when I have time, which it never seems I have.

The half finished panel used to sit next to the F-4 but now is under a tarp just outside the building that the F-2 and driveable panel are sitting in.

I am having a building built this spring for my business which is about 50% bigger than the shop I am presently renting so I will have a little more room for my toys.

The funny thing about most of the trucks listed in the members' signature is most are probably relics sitting out behind, or beside, their sheds and garages or out in a field. There should be a poll to see how many of the trucks listed are really drivable.

In my signatrue my F-2 is the only one of my trucks that I can jump into and drive down the road. The 8N tractor is also driveable. I tore it apart and repainted it about three years ago and we actually use it on the farm for simple field work. The panel is driveable but overheats so I can't take it far. The F-4, like I said, is sitting in my shop. I like to say it is "Half together". The second panel is just a shell sitting on a chassis. It just looks good to list all off the toys.

I'll rotate a few in and out of the garage. In the winter the '97 stays in almost all the time. The '48 currently has a permanent spot that is out of the way. The '51 and '72 also go in for weeks at a time when I work on them. Right now the '51 is in front of the house next to my Grand Marquis and the '72 is out of view behind the garage. The '68 is in a small open end shed behind the house. I can have 4 vehicles in the garage max but the Galaxie is guaranteed a spot at all times so it is more like 3 spots for trucks. I also have a '56 F350 at my dads place in a barn. It won't fit in my garage currently and it has no drivetrain so there it sits for a while.

This is not one of my F100's but I thought that it was a fairly innovative way to "reduce it's footprint" in my garage...
btw - it's a 35 Chevy 5W coupe

I only have 3 trucks.... my '48 F-1 is in the back of the garage and my drivable '49 F-3 is right in front of the and then I park my '94 f-150 outside unless im working on it then the F-3 goes outside for a little bit. I try to be nice to all my ladies, and hope that they return the favor.

All of the ones in my sig are in 7 garages and 2 shops on the farm except for the 53 M350 and the 71 F350.
The parts vehicles are stored in the back part of the farm yard mostly out of site in the trees.

I got to the point in accumulating to much "stuff" that I ran out of room to store it and also room to work in the garage. Just little paths to get from here to there and very difficult to work in. Recently a friend and I bought a 55' x 75' pole barn on 3 acres a little way out of town. I will be moving several items there and still have room for more! Can't wait to get the garage cleaned out and have room to move around and work. Just hoping for the weather to clear up and the ground to dry out.

I forgot to mention my parts shed, it is a rather large dog house (10' tall and about 8'x10') the PO used. I have it full of hoods, tires, tailgates, gas tanks and anything else I want to keep out of the weather. I also have a lot of bump parts currently taking up about 1/5 of my living room.

Stacking them on their sides is the way, but make sure to rotate them so the bottom side doesn't spoil.
