I am trying to find a book I read long ago. It is written in the same vein as "Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance" BUT it is about a city dweller who moves to Vermont(?) and sets about restoring a 50's era dodge pick-up

I believe the information that you seek is contained herein:



Truck: On Rebuilding a Worn-out Pickup and Other Post-Technological Adventures by John Jerome

This book has some great quotes and I should have a copy sitting around somewhere here in boxes.



Amy's gotta a pretty funny one about VW rabbits as well LOL



Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance By Robert M Pirsig

Thanks guys! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Reminds me of how to keep your volkswagen alive for the complete idiot.



Unfortunately for the rest of the world that's what got me started on being a mechanic.

The key to being good at any job is to thoroughly enjoy what you are doing. Unfortunately, finding your right livelihood is not an easy thing to do. At least it hasn't been for me.
