Another pickup. Wife and I were looking at pickups, right after we bought a farm, in about 1974. A dealer had a really nice cornbinder, the two-tone green with matching upholstery, AC, all the bells and whistles, in great shape. I've always liked offbeat stuff anyhow, and the price was right.
Took it for a test drive, drove nice, was headed back to the dealer to pull the trigger. Looked in the side mirror, and the rear wheel was outside the fender! We found a phone booth real quick (there were a lot of them around in those days), and called the dealership. Salesman told us to just go ahead and drive it in. I told him I didn't think it was going to make it, and once that axle worked its way out a little further, they were looking at a lot of damage when it let loose. Suggested he get the boss on the phone, to verify the instructions. He muttered something, and said a tow truck would be on the way.
We bought a Chevy. The one I later sold my boss, and was with him in it, when the transmission started drinking fluid. We stopped at Schucks and bought a case of it. It was all a bit awkward. . .
