I'm pretty sure I have seen those on the 68 Grand Prix as well, but I'm not a betting man!

Welcome to the site Stig! Those are a couple of nice Ponchos. Very much like my Grandfather sold NEW back in the day.
As far as working on Volvo trucks........we indeed have them here too. So I get to work on the older ones once in a while. They would all have 60 series Detroit Diesels from 10 years ago. I do enjoy road testing them as the ride is the best there is. Sadly, the ones we do see are in really rough shape, so it usually takes longer to repair as they come in for one or two simple things and it usually ends up being six other problems too. .
Anyhow, work needs to be left at work. This is where I relax and learn. So enjoy the site, and again welcome from Canada.
