The manager of the place is a putz and when I finally got in touch with the owner and showed him the work he was professional but seemed pissed at his crew. It's my fault. I got it at Earl Scheib for $700. I didn't realize they were like the Poulan of paint jobs. love nick

Just sent my pickup back to the paint shop to have the WHOLE thing redone. Pretty pissed about the whole ordeal. The body shop wasted a bunch of my Time but after threat of small claims court have decided to redo the blue paint and reimburse me to get the logos painted on again. We...

Just saw something on the Highway Products website that caught my eye... The license plate looked familiar and I went out and checked...sho nuff that's my truck!!!

Big news! I got the truck! My dad offered to head up there with me. He's always looking for a good fight! So we drove up- $17K in my pocket and checked it out. The guy was super cool- he's getting out of the trees. He actually seemed sad to see this one go. His shop was in pristine condition...

You know me well, pat! Dang- you guys don't miss a thing! The good thing- if I can get the last one I pictured, it's a GMC brand. We all know the actual engine is japanese, but it says GMC all over it!

Sorta up by you... Don't go buying it out from under me! LeGrand, near Merced (about 20 miles south or less) Here's a map to the nearest Chase bank... <iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"...

So I am in negotiations to buy this truck. It's pretty much EXACTLY what I want. American-branded cab over (GMC) aluminum box that isn't super huge (like 8X10'). Good storage for tools/supplies. 180K miles on a 4 cylinder diesel engine. But here's the catch. Guy wants $17,000 for it in...

Shhhhhhhh....

Nah- I think you're looking too deep into what I was saying. People make decisions based on warm fuzzies. If they are standing in Whole Foods or the farmers market and asking about an orange and the worker there says it's organic then the customer gets one warm fuzzy. If the worker says that...

that's basically what it all boils down to

No- you're looking too deep into what I'm saying. I'm not arguing which company is more american. All I'm saying is that customers make decisions quickly. If a client of mine says, "yeah and they rarely use gas powered tools, and they are certified arborists, and like all their equipment is...

Exactly. So which company has more money staying in the USA, Ford or Isuzu? I'm thinking we'd be disappointed to hear how much Ford money actually stays in the USA, but I would also bet that it is more than what a foreign company leaves behind. I'm right again. :)

Nah- it's not that complicated. From a marketing standpoint, "Ford" warms the cockles of the heart more that "Isuzu" does in most of my clients. Most aren't going to do a bunch of background research to verify exactly where each part comes from and WHO put it on the truck. Ford=USA ...

Yep. At the time I bought it no american companies made hybrids.

Ford Ranger :) (but I see what you were trying to do there!)

That's exactly what I'm thinking! Yeah- you're right. I was sorta looking the other way and pretending it wasn't going to be a problem. :) My real thought was that it didn't matter for 90% of my gear. It woud only matter for saws and power tools (I think). Perhaps there'd be a way that I...

What do you mean an Internet pic? Click on the link and you can see it's a legit ad.

What do y'all think about this one as a potential chip truck? I like the size. I like that it has storage. The seller is willing to make a deal. What probs do y'all foresee? It doesn't have a hitch right now, but that can be added (I think). I'll probably be getting a 6" or MAYBE 9"...

There aren't enough brick homes to support a thriving masonry industry. Remember, it's always sunny. We all sleep in hammocks in grass huts!
