Truck Broke Down...at the wrecker's!
My wife couldn't do anything give me a sly grin when I told her where my '76 broke down...at the wrecker. She doesn't get why I need two trucks, and I don't get why I had to get rid of one so I only have two, but that's another story.
I finally found a tilt column for my '69 GMC and I was about to go load it up when the truck wouldn't start. Its usually hard starting, so I cranked it for about 5 seconds, let go, tried to crank it again, and nothing happened. The solenoid didn't even click. I've got lots of power to the starter, so I guess its either the solenoid or the starter itself. Anyway, funny story, thought I'd post it.

I just hate it when my truck screwz up. When it does I will do ANYTHING to hide it from the wife. She gets this "Why don't you buy a new truck" (use approriate voice overs) look. She'll never understand, and as a result, never cut me any slack either.
In her defence, I will admit to dumping more money in this truck than what a 5 year old truck is worth.
