Hey Buster!! Wait just a darned minute. I'm old but I tain' that darned old! :>) Yep, I've worked for lots and lots of Chevy people; 'twas the only thing I was ever smart enough to do. Whenever things went bad, I could always dive back into the Chevys 'cause I knew 'em like the backside of my hand. Did Automatic Trannys and Air Conditioning mostly; the last stint lasted from the day of the farm sale in '83 to '99. Boy! How time gets away!

'Member the old drum brakes on the front and those old ball bearing type wheel bearings? Had to back 'em off a quarter of a turn? Yep, I guess you are right, I'm just too darned old! :>) Allan

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
