After Truck Engineering was kicked out of Chevy Central Office (in the early 1980's, maybe) we were scattered to a dozen different little engineering houses throughout Southeast Michigan. If you needed to look at a drawing you first had to figure out which job shop it was located in, and then you had to hop in your car and drive over there (to Northfield, or Clawson, or Modern Engineering) and then try to find the drawing either in the cubby hole where it was kept, or in use on someone's desk or drawing table. Now we can just pull it up from the convenience of your laptop, whether at your desk or from the comfort of your barcalounger, in 3D. Much nicer (and naturally more efficient). K |

I started as a co-op student (GMI = General Motors Institute) at the Flint Truck assembly plant. Since then I've worked in about 12 different final assembly plants, two proving grounds, three pre-production shops and one remote self contained design/build operation, in production launch, product design/development, and engineering program management. I've worked on 6 generations of Full Size Trucks (Squarebody, GMT400, GMT800, GMT900, K2 and T1) one electric vehicle (Volt) and one low volume show car type build that I can't talk about. K |

I like that one. Here are a few more for interest. Look carefully in the background of the blue #213 and you'll see a Cameo being used as a work truck. It even looks like stacks and a toolbox installed in the bed. |

This is a cool one!
Not sure if this is bigger. The original was huge and I haven't been able to figure out how to post it that way. Brian https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...da&oe=5CE144BC |

That is such a nostalgic sight for these old eyes. Such pics are very real to me from so long ago. Thanks for posting, made my day.

Oh yeah, look at the brick street, it's been removed! There is a little section of it left probably as a "memory" of the old street. Crap I hate seeing those changes! It happens so much. I know right here in my city just blocks from my house is the old movie theater and stuff on what was called "main street" has changed so much. My parents had a restaurant after the war right there by the theater. My sister tells stories of being 5 year old and crossing main street to go to a store to buy candy. Well, that store, along with the whole block is being torn down to put in a 3 - 5 story apartment building! When I was a kid the Honda Shop was there that I bought parts for my C-110 50. The old firehouse is there where I remember fire trucks coming out of with the firemen standing on the rear of the truck (remember that?) all that will be gone! I pass them on the sidewalk on my evening walk over the last number of years, all of it will be gone. :(
