... you could not pay someone to do a basic truck repair. So I do almost 100% of my own tractor and equipment repairs or I would be broke. I have two trucks from the 1970's and my pickup has started stumbling on occasion when leaving an intersection. Sometimes it does not want to idle or idles rough. The other day it stalled in the middle of a farm lane and I had to leave it...would not start. It is a 1976 C-20. With road vehicles, I like to use a licensed mechanic. Yes, I fix a lot of stuff but I am not a mechanic. Forum posts, YouTube, etc and I get it done but I prefer someone who knows their stuff do the road vehicles.

One was a Chevy dealer. One place told me they scrapped the tank they used to soak carbs. Frankly, I am a little shocked. So I guess I am going to start working on trucks now too. Should be interesting! Don't care to buy a new truck that costs more than my first house did. Rant over! :)
