I started working in Chev dealerships in 1954. Did that till I bought my own shop in 1962.Finally burned out in the 80s,but I still enjoy batting the breeze about the old ones. I dont google things I figure anyone can do that, my answers will be from actual expierence.Thanks for listening.

Thanks for the welcome fellas. As to what I call a prewar truck that would probably be "rusty" I dont try to keep up with the OBD stuff. If its a 46 i/2 ton every one understands that.
