Reading these brings back memories of repairs we did on my dads trucks (and some I had). This was back when a pick up was used as a truck and run until you had to pay the scrap yard to take it. The amount of abuse and cobbled repairs they would endure and still start and run every day amazes me now. We have to remember in most cases, the PO's weren't restoring, they were using. Plus, they saved them for us to try to straighten out their messes. My 2 cents worth. John
