The odors in the garage of these trucks (a brief rant) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I park my ‘67 GMC in the garage and get out, the odors of those incomplete combustion products fill the air…mainly hydrocarbon compounds and nitrogen compounds (and of course carbon monoxide, but ya can’t smell that deadly stuff)…. I bought the truck cuz as long as I can walk out to the garage, open the hood, and bend over and turn a wrench, I can keep that truck running all by my lonesome. New vehicles? Forget it. However…if the powers that be HADN’T computerized auto engines, even small cities like Podunk Texas would occasionally have smog problems. Cities like Dallas? You’d need a gas mask and a hazmat suit to survive.

I love my truck….
