Re: more than one?



I've been told by friends that it's ok to have multiple as long as your "hospital ratio" is above 50%

The Hospital Ratio : total count of cars divided by how many of them could you jump in & get to the hospital with minimal work/effort if you were missing an arm or losing a lot of blood. Basically running, streetable cars divided from your total fleet.

With several projects, I'm always hovering around 70%

Re: more than one?

I have these three, plus the 71 swb that has the cab off the frame right now. The frame has been sandblasted and por15. Drop spindles and flipped rear. FI engine and 4L80 trans. Cab is about 95% ready to paint. However 6 grandchildren and a very jealous lawn mower have slowed my progress.

Re: more than one?

A couple too many... Besides my collection I recently inherated half of my Dad's collection. Currently only one 67-72 and I'm lucky enough to have indoor srtorage for everything but I really need to thin the herd. There's 13 fun cars and 2 modern cars plus my 73 P30 flatbed for seasonal/harvest work. I think I'd be happier with about 5 of them going down the road but I'd like a 71/72 pickup so the count goes up again!

Re: more than one?

All I can say is dessicant......lots and lots of dessicant. Put them everywhere (engine bay, bed, corners, under seat, etc) Take pictures of the dessicant installed/placed and put the pictures in the glovebox. Best way to fix rust is to prevent it. You can get one pound bags of dessicant almost anywhere.

Ok so decided to not tear apart the green truck just build another one so add a k20 lwd to the above.

Re: more than one?

Just 2 for now but always looking. 69CST10 LWB and 75 FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser. Just turned 82 in March so wife gave me a 4 post BenPak lift for the shop so that I can continue the addiction when I get old.

Restored several Land Cruisers over the past several years but had this urge to get back to my roots. There must be a Blazer out there somewhere looking for a good home.

Still working on how to post pics




69 CST10 - 350cid, TH400, Posi 373

75 FJ40 TLC, on-bd-air, ARB lockers frnt&rr, Safari bumper front with 8274 Warn winch, Swingout Safari rear bumper and 10:50X33" BFG on Procomp rims

The current herd:

1972 K20 Suburban - need to put the gas tank back in
1967 Corvette Roadster - nice driver
1972 Corvette Roadster - nice driver
1973 LT Z-28 - Blown back apart to fix some poor body work done in the past
1965 Dodge Town Wagon - saved in dry storage
1963 Ford SWB Uni truck sitting on a CV chassis
1950 Ford Coupe - In progress
