Something's wrong with this brake part.

When the truck was retired, some dude bought it and moved to L.A.. my close uncle was working for LAPD after Vietnam and purchased the truck in the late 70s. He was supposed to ticket it but the guy offered to sell it. So my uncle didt ticket it and said he'll be back after his shift. As far back as I can remember, I've always had a thing for this truck. Just last year when I was visiting him, he said "here" and handed me the keys. He said he knows I'll take care of it. Here the Lockheed Martin on the passenger floor.

Wow! Now that's a cool story and history of your truck. Lockheed didn't merge with Martin Marietta until 1995, so your truck was owned by Lockheed back in the day. My father was a Machinist in the Aerospace Industry from the early 60's until retirement. Almost everyone I knew as a kid growing up was connected to Aerospace somehow. My Dad worked for and retired from Garrett AiResearch. Best known for the Garrett Turbo Chargers today.

That's cool. I learned something today. I didnt know that Lockheed and Martin were 2 separate companies. I actually never heard of Martin Marietta till this post. Sounds like you dad had a cool sweet job. It must of been cool growing up with kids being connected to the aerospace one way or another. I grew up in Pomona, so my parents did a great job keeping us out of trouble. Also cool where your dad retired from. Hope retirement is great.
