The only embarrassing aspect is the drudgery of explaining social conventions to a ****ing alien.

Laying it out as simplistic as I can in the interest of imparting undertstanding.

I mentioned that 'you'd have better luck buying his kidney' for 2 reasons

1. To make it clear it wasn't a sale offer, thereby stemming any calculation by mac whether a 72 to CLOSE ENOUGH to consider as a surrogate
2. To punctuate how much sentimental value my dad placed on the truck, much like mac's sentimental value for the HIS grandfather's.

It's called reminiscing. And I can understand your anal retentiveness if I were responding to a stranger on Craigslist. But mac is a member of CP, posting in a general 'car and gearhead' thread.

OF COURSE I knew they were different model years, I made the year and C/K designation explicit from the outset. That wasn't the point.
And OF COURSE I knew that different model years had body differences, but C/K body differences went by model year,not letter designation

But you have bunches of trucks and run a shop, so you're the only person on CP with fundamental knowledge of domestic autos, so you needed to misread the conversation and point out an irrelevancy.

you are making no sense here.
