Seen this on a mechanics wall

As we used to say in the Navy, "If it moves lubricate it, if it doesn't, paint it!"

Re: Funny truck stuff from the board members
The first time I had to replace an axle u-joint on a K/20 it was a booger of a job getting it out. I took it to one of the mechanics that brought me up to see what he could do. He said hit that thing like you mean it. I told him I was afraid it would break if I hit it any harder. He said what's the difference if he broke it or I did? I did end up needing the use a press.

Re: Funny truck stuff from the board members
I hear you on losing the #10 socket, WTH is that?
I don't recall who, but the signature for one of our posters reads something like "my father says point distributors are pointless". SStim once told me "you're going around the block to get next door." Took many years to realize he was right

Re: Funny truck stuff from the board members
Agree, last post from the walking GM encyclopedia was a year ago. Hopefully he's good.

Re: Funny truck stuff from the board members
I vaguely remember a post from Grumpy, the thread was deleted soon after
Basically someone asked about body sanding, so Grumps went onto explain the different goals and such, which included something to the affect of "you sand, you sand, and you sand some more until it's smooth as a baby's *&(^)^ and then you sand some more." I think Grump's was in sand mode at the time anyway, complained his forearms were getting too big

Re: Funny truck stuff from the board members
Speak of a certain certain individual, just now "I hope he likes the red upholstery, and the diamonds because I'm tired of sewing them in".
paraphrasing

Re: Funny truck stuff from the board members
I remember a thread a while back where someone said, “I would never rebuild a 305”. Truth and humor in that statement.
