Re: truck line assemblers
Personally being an assembler myself, the end result starting/running/moving, is the satisfaction/gratification of knowing you did a good job! It is a double edged sword, if the tractor fails in test, and it was something I caused.

Re: truck line assemblers
Thanks for sharing the "Howie Makem" story! I can see some individuals being irritated by that.

Re: truck line assemblers
Thanks for the bump and more interesting information! I was hoping some others would chime in.
I am laid off until Jan.11th so I would imagine I'll be bored after I get some projects done.Never fails either you have time or money.Very seldom both at the same time!

Re: truck line assemblers
Hi guys. I'm new to this board and been lost in reading pages for a couple of weeks.
I just made my way to this thread. Never the less very interesting to me. I haven't built trucks, but I have been assembling cars for the last 26 1/2 years. Actually, Redline novdog, I'm almost your neighbor. I'm sure we know some of the same people. I started in May of '89 for Diamond Star Motors. Joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi. Eventually it was just Mitsubishi. Sad to say the plant closed and the last production day was just this past November 30th. It was a long ride and reading some of the posts here are very similar to what I experienced. |

Re: truck line assemblers
Welcome to the board!! Very knowledgeable/helpful people here. Yes We are only about 25 min. away from Normal.I would imagine we do have mutual friends. Sorry to hear of the plant closing .That's a bummer.Perhaps our paths will cross someday. Nice looking truck by the way!
