Picked up another one yesterday

[superduty12v]

yea ive thought about that, ,maybe when i have more expendable income, but by then youll probably have the market sewn up! lol. looks like a cool job man you a lineman? from all your expertise i see on here i always thought you were an autobody guy

 

[Diesel_brad]

Former auto body,tow truck driver,ASE certified GM tech, Union Equipment operator/mechanic, Verizon I/M tech, 4wd shop salesman/service advisor, Truck driver, Farmer, you name it.

CURRENTLY Sub for the power company. This pays the best so far with EXCELLENT benefits but I have had more enjoyable jobs

 

[superduty12v]

id love to learn body work, but i got time lol im 17 man, and a plumber. startin soon in a construction company as a laborer, only movin up from there, hopefully find myself in the garage or operating. its 22$ an hr to start, laboring. pretty good for me. and you got one hell of a resume lol you ASE certified before the duramax/allison or no?

I started at a body shop when I was 11 years old sweeping the floor and taking out the trash. My last job at the shop was a Frame off resto on a 48 F1. I am far from an expert but I know the right way and the wrong way. But a 2nd place finish at a national truck show does showcase some of my ability

I left GM in 99 so the duramaxes were not out yet, just the JUNK 6.5s

 

[superduty12v]

cool deal man. and yea those 6.5s are junk motors. 100k injector life, thrown cranks, sh*t inj. pumps, fried PMDs. im really tempted to pick up a junk body f150 or something, and get my buddy whos a body guy to teach me how to do some work on it, maybe i can get a 7.3 and get crackin. its something i really want to learn. did you work at a dealer for gm?

 

[Diesel_brad]

It's okay, not a day goes by that I don't bash Toyota in some way or other....but my daily driver is a Lexus

 

[Diesel_brad]

I would laugh at them. Told them I couldnt get a job at a ford Garage cause they that had no broke down trucks, but Chevy was SUPER busy

Those Thorbirds went 20,000 and lots of smokey burnouts. My second set only went 6k with normal driving. They changed the rubeer coupound and they sucked.

The GM truck in the drive was my brothers 94 Chevy, dont worry, he is a DIE HARD ford fan now
