This is the only generation of Chevy truck I really like.  When I’m finished with my ‘56 F100 I’ve put serious thought to a ‘69 C10

When my car decided to lunch its valves I looked into replacing it with a truck and just couldn’t bring myself to take on that kind of payment. Really it’s not that trucks are so expensive but that many, many new vehicles are getting over $40k and I’m not here for it. At least with many trucks there’s huge discounts…

a notchback (the more attractive body style if you ask me)

Or a cheap platform for anything you want to build

Straight body, no (or minimal) rust, and - this is very important - all the parts are there in at least some condition. As someone trying to find a bunch of random parts for an old Ford I cannot stress enough just how much of a pain in the ass it is trying to find an OEM heater box and controls that may be somewhat sal…

The problem with HF is not the price, it’s that they are generally, IME, crap. At best QC is seriously lacking, at worst they are sourcing the absolute cheapest materials.

I’ve heard good things about the earthquake line but at this point when I buy a full on impact I’ll be going cordless 3/8" or 1/2", and it will be a Makita.  Having used my buddy’s Milwaukee cordless guns they are incredibly powerful and much easier to fit than anything with an air line

My experience with HF has been overwhelmingly negative. I have a 1/2" corded impact gun that is weaker than my 1/4" hex quick change Makita. I have a set of pullers that flaked the chrome off the screw first time out. I have a set of these recalled 3 ton jack stands now apparently. None of those cheap ass flashlights…

I’m 6'3 and weigh every bit of 275. I do not look nearly as fat as the president, who claims to also be 6'3 but isn’t.

5 days, with all parts in hand? No problem! My car went down on a Saturday morning and by the next Saturday night I had sourced and retrieved an engine, swapped them while moving all accessories, installing a new clutch and wiring harness, and had the thing back on the road.

This is a good take.  I did not know this difference existed before now but now that I know, the hair lip version is clearly worse.

I want a beer at the brewery

You are way too invested in a fast food restuarant

Sorry I don’t think a $5 combo from a fast food chain half way across the country from me is worthy of the praise you seem to think it deserves.  I’ll go to Cookout and get a big double tray and a shake instead

Wow, they put in all that work and end up with a shitty product.  Maybe they should change their methods

My measly dollar is 1200 miles from the nearest In-N-Out, they aren’t missing shit from me.  And I’m fine being in the minority, half of everyone is dumber than average and lots of smart people have terrible taste too.

If I were a running politician I would make my campaign song Cult of Personality but never say a word about it., just let that heavy opening riff lead me in.  But I would do it with full knowledge of what I was playing

Sorry I don’t think your favorite fast food is worthy of the god-level praise the internet seems to bury it in

If you’re craving fries, absolutely. They come out deliciously crisp if you do it right.  Note that when I say pan frying it’s basically a really shallow deep fry, not a splash of oil but a good 1/2" in the pan

Crinkle fries seem like they should be the best but are always, always the worst. I’ve never had a good crinkle fry and with the surface area:volume ratio available that doesn’t make any sense.
