Thanks for posting this.

I'm not a hoarder.

I am a "Collector of Fine Everything"...

What state are you in?quote]

I live in WA state, just a little North of Portland OR.

That is only a little over 450 mi from me. Every now and then I drive up to Seattle to visit friends. Drive right by your neck of the woods.

You should give me a heads up next time. We can meet up and grab a bite to eat or something.

This reminds me of the lineup from the movie The Usual Suspects.

I get called a hoarder often. I just tell people I run a retirement home for old Fords. I flew into Medford last Thursday to pick up a car for my mom. As I was about to Portland, was actually thinking "Woods is around here somewhere". I would have loved to see your truck in person, but it was 3am and unannounced. Maybe next time.

Sounds like a plan. Might be a while, but I will give ya a shout.

I cut back on hoarding..........well a little bit anyway. The crawl space under my back porch and the former coal cellar are jammed with bump parts. The basement is full of bump parts, antique tools, fire department junk and obsolete service manuals. My shed and the junk school bus at my folks place are stuffed full of bump, dent and 92-96 parts. I got stuff stashed other places too. I am working at getting a garage built then I plan to sort it all out and only keep the best stuff. We'll see how that works out in reality.

I have always pictured as older with a longer all white beard for some reason.

Funny, I pictured a more ZZTop theme as well.

I tend to collect stuff too, but I'm one of those people that as soon as I get to a point where I'm feeling claustrophobic I just have to clean house (or garage I suppose) or I can't enjoy myself doing the hobby I love. It drives me nuts to have to move piles of crap around to get to other piles of stuff that I want to work on/with.

See, now that I can't handle, it will freak me out. I have to have my work area somewhat clean too.

as far as i know the largest gathering of fordi members at once at any time ever.

I was able to wrangle up ten of us in Florida. Tom made the 10th Fordification member to show up just as everyone was leaving, (Sunday church) when we met the first year in Bushnell:

We were gonna get a trophy, (that would have been presented to Keith) if we'd had ten earlier when they counted club's "most members".

AGAIN LOL!

Yep, I was a hoarder too. Until I had two lower back surgeries and then moved 1000 miles. Brought a lot of it here with me-then sold it when times got hard. Nothing wrong with hoarding as far as I'm concerned.

I have tons of stuff. well not tons, but 3 3x2x3 rubbermaid tubs full of cluster parts, wire harnesses fron 3 trucks, interior peices, trim pieces and misc nuts and bolts. Then i have a half a truck in the drive way
and a bunch of good patch panels sitting in the carport, as well as 2 302's, a 390, a 351W, an AOD, a T-18 and 2 9'' rear ends.

I sold some stuff, like a full auto conversion for $250. I mean full. trans, flexplate, bellhousing spacer plate thing, cooler lines, cooler, colum, etc. I cant get rid of a set of brand new (run for 1 month) 390 heads with hardened seats for $100. It seems you really cant get anything for what you have these days.

Right now i have decided that the straight, rust free 1969 ranger bed with shaved badges is gonna get cut up and taken in for scrap , as well as 1 9'', the 390, and 1 of the 302's. as well as a dead 1984 f150 with a 300 i-6, c5 and 4x4. I couldnt get $400 bucks for that when it WAS running.

Anyone want to save a rust free straight bed with no side markers or trim and a rust free toolbox? it has the factory aux tank filler but no tank.
