Cost of new pickups

[Truck Shop]

Oh man that paints a ugly picture. 6-71 and by age style of the pieces a 2 valve head, beyond gutless.

That photo probably came from Trailways. Where's Vetech?

You diesel pickup guys need power like this, and no emissions. Look at just how happy this
guy is, he's just busting out all over with joy, must be one of his favorite engines by the
look on his face. Never seen a happier mechanic.

That's about as happy looking as any old Mechanic that knows anything ever gets . . .

Well I know a lot and still have a sarcastic grin.

 

[Truck Shop]

Thank you.

 

[Acoals]

He muses . . . does a man with a sarcastic grin appear happy . . . . ????????

 

[Truck Shop]

Depends on the man.

I do

 

[John C.]

The sarcastic grin just means he is waiting for someone to step in his trap. They won't know what hit them nor where it came from.

Cost of used back when a buck went a lot further.

That mechanic looks like he's done the same thing 1000 times. His expression might be famous if it weren't for the Mona Lisa.

I had to do a double take for a minute I thought that was me!

I was making money on my 671 until June of last year

Thats what people look like when they get up too early in the morning.
Gotta like the nice shop he's in too.

At least he gets to stand beside that 6-71 and not laying over a fender or jammed up inside like a dog humping a football

I never liked working on trucks, doing anything.

 

[Truck Shop]

I never liked working.

 

[mekanik]

I was forced a few times to work on engines in fishing boats. That can be a nightmare.

 

[Acoals]

The only thing worse than an RV to work on is a boat .....

 

[John C.]

Old friction cranes, forklifts and golf carts also come to mind. Container stackers are not fun either.

 

[Welder Dave]

Some jobs are fun either to see the finished project or to have a sense of pride that you did it. Truck Shops last truck is a good example. Outstanding craftsmanship!
