    I can't decide...

    Are these guys the Three Stooges of truck repair, or are they absolute geniuses?...Either way, my hat is off to them......Ben

    That reminds me of our motto in the 349th Munitions Maintenance Squadron:
    We the unwilling, led by the unknowing, for the ungrateful, have done so much for so long with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing...

    WOW! I'll go with absolute geniuses! I know it was videoed but there wasn't much wasted movement, they have been beating on steel for a while it seems, and doing it well I might add.

    In this video it looks like they needed a double wall frame on an Isuzu, so they just made one...Those are some hellacious spring packs they installed also...I can't say that I agree with Fred about the paintwork, but their ingenuity is top notch...Doesn't look like they worry much about OSHA regulations in Pakistan either......Ben

    The problem solving ingenuity of the inhabitants of third world countries always amazes me. It amazes me further that they can do things like this and still not figure out how to have clean water, sanitary sewage, and grow enough food for their people. Priorities need to be adjusted.
