    scrap truck

    My first was a Chevy venture (excellent )

    My second was the Doge 1500 with 318
    never failed but had so much rust that as of last year the police were pulling me over too much
    some would just look at me and I assume " I'm not bothering with this situation " like they cut me slack - BUT yes some police that needed a quota ticket pulled me over After all it was not inspected (could not pass)
    it ran smooth as silk BUT was by far the ugliest truck within 100 square miles
    I never seen one worse
    and became my joke any time I was with my kids .
    I'd say can any one find a worse looking truck . we never did .

    So I gave it to my auto shop and also gave him a parts type dodge 1500 I also had
    the plan is to mix and match what is needed for one decent truck
    soon I will have one sound truck once more .


    BTW prices are edging up by me

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
