That truck reminds me of a '72 C60 the lumber yard I worked at in high school had. I worked there as a "mechanic's assistant". (translation: the kid that got to change oil on diesel forklifts that had been running for 12 hours straight. :rolleyes: ) The old 'bolt was their "backup" truck, and I got to do deliveries in it when they got too busy.
I ended up driving it quite a lot. And, after about 2 months, I was the *ONLY* person that could get it to start. Even my boss, a mechanic for 25 years, couldn't get it to fire. He worked on it once on my day off for 6 hours, changing everything he could think of. Not knowing this, I jumped in it the next morning, pumped the gas twice, fired it up and drove it to the load area. I couldn't figure out at first why everyone was laughing at me. I still remember my boss' face...
"Christine", as it came to be known, served the lumber yard for many years after I left. I lost track of it when the company went under (a victim of The Borg in orange, but that's another story)...
