Do you have more than a single project truck you are working on?

[lowbucktruck]

I wish I had more space... bigger driveway, a shop building instead of just a standard 2-car garage.  So I am limited to just one Chevy truck at the present time/circumstances.  Plus I have started a family!  One of these days, I would like to buy some property just outside of town, maybe with an old barn that I can use for my shop.  (big sigh here).  I envy you guys that have a shop and space for our hobby, old Chevy trucks.  I recently had to part with my '73 C20 longbed, "Ole Reliable".  I still look for her to be sitting in my driveway, even though I know, she's gone. (sigh) If I had more space, I probably would have kept that truck.  But I already have a project truck.

I seem to have this pattern of finding old cars and trucks (or they find me).  Hobby or obsession?!?  I just prefer the solid construction of the Detroit auto manufacturing of yesteryear.

So how many of you out there have more than one project truck you are working on?  I see that Blazin has a truck fleet going on there at his place.    They can be active projects or something you were working on, and its on hold right now.  Private owners only, auto shop owners exempt please.

I work in our driveway. Still working on getting the garage
I have 2 Trucks I am currently working on (76 GMC C3500 and a 88 Blazer)
Plus in the process of remodeling the house (last year did the siding over now its the kitchen, then the living room)

My old bones really feel it on Sunday nights

1) 1978 Jimmy - completed the TPI swap, working on the floorpan and routing Exhaust as time permits
2) 1987 Pickup - currently a Daily Driver, but I hope to start on the bodywork while it is still mobile before the LS conversion
3) 198X Pickup - currently it is the mockup for the LS conversion for Truck #2.  I am picking up pieces/Parts as time allows.  It will eventually become the truck shown on captkaoscustoms.com Lowered, 73 tilt frontend, Hilborn injected 454, 5 speed etc...
4) 1991 Crew Cab - Family Trips Truck-  Just a driver now, but the rear seat will be recovered (not bad right now) and I would really like to do a shortbed conversion
5) 1990 Suburban - Barge - runs and drives need a complete repaint and interior fabric refresh

Good question. I currently have a few, mine is always a project 22years I've never been done with. I also have an 83' k10 swb I'm building with my son, an 86' k5 blazer I've had for about 5years I had given it to my oldest son to work on but he hasn't touched it in 2 years so I recently aquired it back so I'm going to start on it as soon as I can get the other one a little further along. I also have an 88' ext cab my dad gave me that was his since new it has been custom stretched almost 28' long with tandem axels in the rear. I work out of an oversized 3 car garage at my house that seems to never have enough space. I know I'm as bad as everyone else I drive my wife nuts everytime I see a good deal on a truck she always gets on me about finish the ones you got. But I think she has came to realize don't be surprised if I drag something home. When we bought our hoiuse it has a huge drive way and I say the more cars/trucks we have is kinda like security you never know when someone is home or not. Ya see there is 10 running cars that sit in the driveway 3 of my kids drive my wife has 2 cars I have 2 trucks and a car I drive so ya never know who's home and who's not. good method of security I think.

4 If you count the El Camino

[80stepsideguy]

I voted 2 if you want to count the 01 ram as its always a project lol...But right now the 80 is the main 1 but someday i like to build another stepside only go a bit more radical on the suspension.But those are the 2 right now..

thanks

 81 pick up 8'stepside bed with 12"lift, taking out the 12" lift/44"tires to install a 4" lift/33"tires
 69 camaro 350(@325H.P)/manual valve body turbo 350/Dana 60- waiting to install the 350 (400H.P.) motor I have for it.
 82 pick up (2 w.d.) with a homemade bed on it. Decent little truck. Someday I'll replace the bed with a stepside bed.
 82 pick up 4x4 stepside. Bought it to use the bed on the 2w.d. truck. Decided this truck was worth saving.
 82 fleetside 4x4. It's a rat but someone put a nice 6' bed on it. Someday I'll use this bed on something.
 91 suburban 4x4. If I do the 82 stepside 4x4 over I'll use this nose and doors on it (I love the power mirrors). I told Vile  he can have the TBI set up off it come springtime.
 2000 crew cab 4x4 Daily Driver. It's a shortbed so I'm keeping an eye open for a 88+ stepside bed for it.
 Realistically if I can get the 81 stepside lowered and the 400H.P motor in the camaro by the summer I will be happy.

All three extended cabs are under construction:\

85 4x4= getting rearend swapped
86 1/2 ton= currently getting dropped
86 1 ton= rear fenders purchased ($80), stereo is installed, body work is next.

I've always got multiple projects rolling. Right now my 74 GMC, My mutt project and an 82 El Camino. i've got a few other major projects going as always too. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have something in a million pieces.

[rockable]

I only have my one truck.  (I have a '57 Porsche 356A Sunroof Coupe that I need to get back on)  I have been jonesin' for another truck, however.  How in the heck did I change personalities from restoring Porsches to Chevy trucks?  I still can't figure it out.

I've been toying with the idea of a Suburban, however.  I had a sweet '90 Suburban that I sold in '95 and the memories are tugging me back.  It was the best road machine I ever had.  Plus, with a 40 gallon tank, you could go on and on forever. 

I probably ought to get back to the Porsche since it needs lots of sheet metal and labor (which is cheap)...........for now.

(thanks for adding the appropriate emoticon, Cap!)

i only have my 78 1/2 ton 4x4 truck project and i am hoping to get a 2wd soon but if you want to add my 78 grand prix i have two projects going on the pontiac needs its transmission rebuilt and a tune up but i am hoping to put a chevy 350 in it and that means changing the transmission and some other stuff but the truck is a ground up project so i have my hands full right now by the way the reason yall have not seen any updates is because i have to move the truck again to a new spot beside my house what fun

[Captkaos]

After today I may be adding another one to the list.  I found a fulltop convertible and a windshield frame (in addition to the halftop and windshield frame I got last week) picking it up March 21st, AND I looked at a 85 Blazer 4x4 that I drove with back passenger floorpan and rocker along with a donor running 87 shell with running gear for $1800....

[Bitzer!]

Hi guys, nothing to make you that horny over here:-

79 crewcab long bed that I've pulled the engine out of today and goes to the paint shop next week    at last

A short circuit oval racing car (in avatar picky) that is taking a while to get set up right

A back/rear garden that resembles a breakers yard in need of sorting so little on can run around soon!!

[78 Chevyrado]

All i have right now is my one truck.  once the engine/trans get sorted out I'll be hunting for a 74 corvette hopefully.
