It's depressing seeing and working on them

Eight years sounds optimistic, they must look like hell before that. Never thought of that, guys that work on cars have to see that every day.

I didn’t think it was yours, too skinny.

i hate to tell you this, but welding is not going to fix that. That salt is devastating, I don’t know how ya’ll live with that, that would kill me. It would seem they could design a car/truck for the rust belt looking at that mass corrosion.

Now down to business, I just picked up the new lock ring from OReilly’s, there is “NO” way that little sheetmetal piece is still intact on that 83 model truck, no way. I thought it was a metal lug, it ain’t nothing but a piece of sheetmetal, i can practically bend it in my hands. I am going to find a mess when I drop that tank.
