I am currently in the process of resurrecting a 1978 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup that has been sitting for 6 or 7 years to use as a wood hauler. It has a 292 six in it and I was in the process of putting the carburetor back on it when I dropped the hard-to-reach inside nut. Do you think I could find that nut? Heck no as hard as I searched I have no idea where it rolled off to. Of course the darn nut has to be fine threaded and I do not have one that size on hand. I really did not want to make a special trip into town just for one little nut so I proceeded to walk all over the place looking for one I could rob off of something else I have sitting around. I finally found just the right nut on the top of a Ford Granada shock. I used it to install the carburetor and that old Chevy six is really running great! I should have it on the road in another couple of days. Must be that Ford part.

Now when something else goes wrong on your truck, you can blame ford for it.

I should put something off a Mopar on it next. Maybe a hood ornament.

I have a Dodge pickup that had a really rusty box on it. I had a real nice Chevy box that I bought for a Chevy pickup but I ended up selling the Chevy before I got the box put on it. It worked pretty good on the Dodge even though it looked a little strange. I thought about putting a Ford engine in it to make it a big three pickup.

My 74 Chevy pickup has 2 Dodge hubcaps on it, I didn't put them on it, they were on there when I bought it.

What does that tell you?
