Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread

hey neighbor! are you n,s,e or w side? i'm out in Novi
do you get to bakers or schoolcraft vfw?

i never put a truck together other than my 58, but i spent a few years managing wash and e-coat dip tank conveyor installations. i seriously doubt trucks thru the 60s got much more than a cursory wipe down before paint. our buddy martin sr would be able to clarify, but he's busy elsewheres i believe.
i remember walking into an empty pontiac truck and bus plant #6 for the gmt 800 project and walking out 2 years later where you needed a map to go thru the maze.

my 09 sierra cab is rust free, but the bed is falling apart and has serious cancer around the wheels. my next trip to texas may find a new bed on it. driving in salt country sucks
