Should I downsize?

Insurance is killing me, plus tags and the upkeep. Should I reduce my fleet and have one truck for all my needs. My inventory is: 1969 bronco 351 auto(nice), 1977 f-150 4x4 parts, 1978 F-250 2x4 parts, 1979 F-150 4x4 snow plow, 1979 F-350 4x4 heavy hauler tow vehicle, 1996 F-150 4x4 daily driver. I'm thinking a 1997 F-350 4x4 powerstroke with plow to replace everything. Thanks

Umm....can you really have too many Ford trucks?

I'd buy the Powerstroke and keep the Bronco for a daily driver; and sell the rest.

get registered only tags for the most of them, keep your daily driver, and heavy hauler active, add the plow to your hauler, restore the rest to show room quailty =)
