My dad worked at Chevrolet Flint Manufacturing (Pressed Metal Division) so he made valve covers, oil pans, air cleaners, radiator supports, fuel tanks, etc for cars and trucks. He was there for 26 years before moving into a Central Office engineering position for his last 6 years.

By submitting ideas through the Suggestion Program he made enough money off of the '65/66 truck grilles to pay cash for our new '69 GMC stepside.
