Don't press your luck!
 Sure, you know how to work on old trucks. Or maybe you're just starting in the hobby. Either way, safety is best learned through OPM (Other Peoples' Mistakes), not OJT!
Either as newly discovered wisdom, or a refresher, please read this article and live safely with your old truck!

Alvin So good to hear from you. Sounds like it's been a tough road, but you're on a roll now. Keep on trucking, buddy.

Didn’t even know that you were having a problem until I read this today. Remember my friend 1 foot in front of the other. Regardless of how much you do, something is better than nothing. You take care of yourself and enjoy the Bojangles sandwich. Can you mail me some chicken, lol. Take care my friend, Joe
