I have been waiting to post this Phil, on successful completion of the repairs of your truck. I am proud to post it now. If you don’t look back at your truck when you walk away, you are not a truck owner… I still do after 23 years of owning my old beast. Here is to you owning the Red Dragon for 23 years and at that time still able to look back at her and smile.

Right on!
I’ve owned my 2000 GMC Z-71 pick-up since spring 2003. So 20 years in with this, my longest owned so far. The 2nd longest was a ’76 Dodge Adventurer, my last ‘real truck’. Metal headliner, triangle side vent windows, bench seat, vinyl truck cab interior. Power nothing. Loved that old thing, you pointed rather than drove it.
LOL. …or your tractor. :o)
Just having an old beast that works when I turn the key gets it a pat. Both my old “friends” are plain reliable. Start every time I turn the key.
My 1985 427 Chebbie-powered Motor coach is a reliable starter as well, but they put a manual choke in it and you need air pressure to run the air throttle to get it to set. Starts right up, though, once everything’s set!
