My wife cut me off. My sickness exposed

I lined up all but one of the trucks in the front yard this morning and my wife said I am cut off from buying any more.

1971 C20 GMC Suburban original orange paint. Factory air and tilt. No Rust
1972 C20 2WD custom 90% original paint
1970 C20 2WD custom 90% original paint
1972 CST Blazer full restoration.
1972 C10 SWB factory air

All five original color from factory

Did I come to the right place for treatment?

What better treatment than a little hair of the dog. A couple more wouldn't hurt. Very nice fleet of trucks there.

Let me know if you want to get that pesky GMC High-top ambulance out of your otherwise all-chevy collection...

Re: My wife cut me off. My sickness exposed

Here is a picture of my 2006 crewcab work truck that was given away as a contractor's warehouse promotion. I bought it with 5000 miles on it.

And here's more pics of the GMC. I have a 1969 donor suburban with a good roof. Robert Bates of 67-72 Tahoe will convert the orange suburban back to original for me soon.

Is this a high hump or low hump tranny cover? I'm about to order carpet. I think I am going with Brothers for the carpet. I want full loop.

I will be putting a 67-68 buddy bucket combo in front and two more rows of seats.

Thanks for all the comments and support.

Welcome to the board! Very nice collection.

Your Suburban has a high hump.

Why would you want to do away with the high roof ambulance?

Great lineup!! You came to the right place alright.... though maybe not for the kind of treatment your wife was hoping for.

Re: My wife cut me off. My sickness exposed

Maybe you should get her some orange lingerie for mother's day to get her back in the Chevy love mood.

How did you collect so many over the years and only find this place now?
