Today I learned something trivial about our trucks...

[hewittca]

When I bought my '68, the previous owner handed me one square key. Coming from 80's GM cars (with square ignition and round door keys), I assumed this was the ignition key, so I asked if he had the door key. The PO explained that he must have lost it but I could buy new locks with a key and swap them out. I considered the "missing" door key insignificant considering the great condition the truck was in. ...Fast forward 6 months to yesterday when I received a reproduction owner's manual and decided to read it. I assumed I knew everything in it, however, I wanted to read it for fun. Boy was I wrong! The FIRST thing I read in the manual is that the truck is equipped with ONE KEY that operates both the ignition AND doors!! Nothing like getting put in your place by a 50 year old user's manual on something so simple.

So, that leads me to my general question: What seemingly simple or trivial thing were you surprised to learn about our trucks?

Stay humble my friends!
