Afternoon Don and Charlie. I would be at the mechanic's door first thing in the morning demanding a new engine and $$ for my troubles too. We don't have very many wells around here but there may be an accident if things didn't work out.

It's on the wrong side of the country, or I'd take it off your hands, lol

If you only knew just how many of these rust free nice pickups I find out here..........

Harley has a 76 GMC 3/4 ton pickup with a rebuilt numbers matching 327 with rams horn exhaust and an almost flawless unmolested body he's gonna sell for $1,500.........

He paid a hundred bucks for it, and drove it home!

Never did well when I hired drivers in the dump trucks. Spent all the profit fixing the trucks.
They'd tear them up as fast as I fixed them.

When they say truck drivers are a dime a dozen, they're talking about steering wheel holders

I'll pas on putting someone besides me and Janet in one of my rigs, especially across country

Good evening Oregon. Spent most of the day stacking oak chord wood at the MIL's. Then out to the farm. Dad had gone to his camera club meeting so after chores, I helped mother loose 5 or 6 games of Solitaire. NCIS came on so I got that set up on the TV for her and came home.

Now for my dinner!
