When the moss in the bed is OLDER than the paint job.
 Having no idea when the last time this truck was painted, you could see the original color under the locations the moss used to be after I power washed it.

Re: You Know You're Working on an Old Truck When...
You don't like driveing in the rain because water comes thru the windshield weatherstrip and hits you in the face
When people stop in to visit they check the shop first instead of the house You keep that old part you just replaced, "just in case". You joined an online forum to share your bloody knuckle stories Posted via Mobile Device

When you spend 10 mintues arguing with the girl at the parts store about having drum brakes on the front. Then she ends with "Dam that truck is older than me."

Re: You Know You're Working on an Old Truck When...
^^^ gloves protect you from the Tarantulas living on your transmission and safety glasses also protect you from the bird nest in your bumper when you pull it off.
When your wife can take out the carb and rebuild it
