Yep, and on your truck, you can change the heater core from under the hood. On my van, I had to take the dash apart. Not the time to buy your parts at Auto Zone...Really…what the hell. Right on point no4. I’m never giving up my ‘66 it’s a tank, run on fuel not a single chip or computer….well unless ya count my iPhone playing music
Ummm...son, that Adam's Apple isn't an implant!
I might have some manuals for that beast--what is the mill and tranny?Really…what the hell. Right on point no4. I’m never giving up my ‘66 it’s a tank, run on fuel not a single chip or computer….well unless ya count my iPhone playing music
Some guy posted it on Facebook. I cropped the image so it was readable without zooming it. But it looked like he snapped the pic in his garage judging by what can be seen in the background.

Oh my truck is suuuuped up Chevy w/350 engine, Eldelbrock carb, shiney pipes etc…
I have all the manuals for 60-66 Chevy truck to fix my stock stuff…I take it in to my vintage auto guy to make sure all the hot rod gadgets stay tuned up.
When those Boomers skills you Alphabet Gen MF's throw off on comes in damn handy!!!
While all you can do is poke it, we're doing that old school speed dial!!
Poor Greta: A Story of Unintended Consequences.
Life without petroleum and petroleum based products.
One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks.
“What’s this?” she asked.
“Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother.
“What happened to the carpet?” she asked.
“The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.
Greta smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fiber bristles.
“Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.”
“Where’s the water?” asked Greta.
“Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it.”
“Why’s there no running water?” Greta asked, becoming a little peevish.
“Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?”
There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Sweden’s energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . .
“What’s for breakfast?” interjected Greta, whose head was hurting.
"Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied her godmother. “Raw.”
“How so, raw?” inquired Greta.
“Well, . . .” And once again, Greta was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Sweden anymore.
“But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented Greta.
“Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.”
“What?!” interjected Greta. “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.”
“Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not any easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Swedish fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing - being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.”
This represents only a fraction of Greta’s day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fiber boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet.
Tune in tomorrow when Greta needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.

Eat your bugs! Kids in Africa are starving!!
December 28, 2023 ~ If you still buy processed, pre-made, store-bought, boxed up foods, frozen or otherwise...get ready to eat bugs in one form or another. CHECK LABELS!! **Also, unfortunately most of the fast food places & favorite restaurants are involved, bugs are cheaper. It's disgusting. It seems like we can no longer trust anyone.
