I am not sure why age should be a factor in determining whether a truck is safe or not. There are some older trucks that are probably in better shape than newer trucks. :wink:

Well the new boss asked if the truck was acceptable, but being it was all they had, haha, it wasn't like I had a choice..... so I did mention the A/C. He said he had a new condensor put in it not too long ago, but said he would get it looked at to see if we could get me some nice cold air! So atleast he's tryin to make it right???
