Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
1.Inspecting the ring gear and pinions prior to assembly
2.Forming, sizing and coining (stamping) the wheel rims. 3.Coil spring for rear ends are compressed as frame moves down the line. (may have been a different process for the trucks...this is a car x frame). 4.Chassis assembly is complete and painted wheels are added. I have many more car pics from the assembly line, but thought that some of these process's hadn't been shown here yet that I could find, and thought there might be some interest in them.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
They look like some old NC pictures. Tons of tobacco grown in these parts of the sandhills...and a little corn shine still being made too.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Great pictures. I was thinking the same thing. Looks like North Carolina, or a bordering state to it.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Man I love them ole pics with old cars and trucks. that's why I love watching them ole t.v. shows from when I grew up in the 70's. wished I could find some of my dad's pictures of his 71 GMC 4x4. my uncle had a lot of 50's and 70's trucks I remember a 69 he had that had a 396 in it, had the engine built up a little it was awesome, he also had a 63 Impala with a 409 dual quad 4 spd posi, sounds like a song don't it. I know this is worthless without pics, so let me do some digging.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
I think this is the coolest pic.

I sure thought that was the Astoria-Megler Bridge....shot looking north, across the mouth of the Columbia. But it sure isn't. Very cool anyhow.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
I saw that, Lugnutz.
She's looking real good, but it looks like your left park light is burned out.
