There must be something in the air.
My wife got home and I was pulling the ol' 49 out of the garage because I had to go and pick some things. She gladly jumped right in the passenger seat and said "Lets go"
Woohoo, you gotta ride the wave when it comes in
Big frosties tonight!

Another term you might use might be I got a cab and it came with a title for parts. Never say you bought another truck. It is like when they say they bought something for the house when in reality it blender or a sewing machine or a $900 piece of furniture like the treadmill my wife bought last January and maybe has used 10 times.

OK Guys, Don't feed the Monster.
Since back during the Caveman Days (Sorry Havi) Men have been trying to BS the Other Half about what we bring home, don't matter if it was a two legger or a four legger.
I am neither a big fan of "Pryor Permission" or spending "Essencials Money" on hobbies.
What has worked best for me is when the Wife discovers the "New" Truck, Tool, or other Gottahav with the "Is that a new______? Look out at it, look the Wife square in the eyes and say "Yep".
One of two things are gonna happen, You will see her jaw drop, cause you told her the truth right to her face or you'll see her telegraph that wicked left hook.

In response to the aforementioned F3, and my excuse of storing it for someone else, I went and told my wife the truth about the KB2's coming my way. I was ready to duck and cover, but she actually took it fairly well. I just need to buy her an Ipod to appease her means. Matter of fact, she knew something was up when I was out moving a couple trucks around with the plow.

Amen!! I'm waiting for Nytling to chime in here?? He bought a truck from a neighbor of his and hasnt told his wife YET. I dont know how long it's been, but he told me not to say anything to her.
Personally I usually come in, and ask my lovely wife "How much do you love me?" Then she says what kind of truck did you buy now? She dont mind too much as long as I keep it hidden til I get it fixed up. As a matter of fact, she is wanting to drive my Unibody when I get it done, and she wants to get the '56 panel done ASAP for the new baby when we get it.
You could do something like they do and say "This OLD thing" I've had it for a long time, I cant believe you never pay any attention to me, and try to make it like it's all her fault. It never works, but it is worth a try?

The whole reason I bought my truck was that my wife just said one day: "why don't you buy one?" Until then, I was perfectly content to drool over my magazines. She has always been supportive of my hobby and interested in what my latest truck project is. She is also a good sport about the constant mess in the garage and the bondo dust that settles over everything.
She is starting to get impatient for it to be back on the road, though. She wants us to buy that RV trailer and get traveling!
I am a happy man!

I keep asking the wife if she wants to ride in the 71. She has not -so far! I know she will soon. The 56s she likes,but wants seat belts. I told her-this is like an armoured truck. Sit back and help me turn this damn steering wheel!!LOL........Bill

My Wife has been a "Hot Rod Person" with me for 35 years. When I had my last '49 I drove it daily for 8 years. She loved it but couldn't drive it because the Steering (Chevy Box-Cross Steer) was so brutal. When I sold that Truck she was really upset. Several nice projects later I would still get elbowed in the ribs every time she saw a '48-'50. When I got the '49 I have now she was in tears she was so happy. She is super supportive of my progress and insisted I put the Toyota Power Box in this one. This Truck will never be sold.
