Back in the late 70's, probably to around '90 or so, one of the local Ford dealers had a man working the parts counter, middle age, real cowboy in all appearance, pants inside his boots, pearl snap shirt, hat (always), had a slow southern drawl that would confuse Junior Samples! After dealing with him a few times, it was obvious he had minimal reading skills, very quiet, very polite, every sentence ended with sir or ma'am.

He even knew combinations that would work that were never offered. I was doing an engine swap on a '70 F250, took out a 360, put in a 460. A 460 was not offered in '70, but he knew what frame mounts I needed to make it bolt in! Amazing man, don't know what happened to him, went back looking for him, he was gone.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
