I worked at Trenton Engine Plant !! Page 2 of this thread are pics of TEP, the one that says 15,000,000 , the gentleman on the left was my Plant Manager, OMG !!! Where did you guys get these pics? Very cool pics. I hired in at TEP, only 18 years old, right out of high school, on July 23, 1968 and retired July 31, 1998. Started on a Sunday night, 3rd shift, 7 days a week. I worked in Dept 84, V8, R&RB crankshafts. I had a machine that cut the keyway on the end of the crank & I had to Champer the oil holes, also. I think I had to do 300 @ night. Then I moved up to Balancing the cranks, had to do 200 @ night. After 9 years of production I got my apprenticeship to become an electrician for my last 21 years. When I walked in there on my first day, I was scared to death, the place was massive. You couldn't see very far cause of all the overhead conveyors, just like in those pics. I was totally lost, had to follow my co-workers around for awhile, breaks/lunch/in-out. At the end of the motor line, there was an area called the; THE MERRY-GO-ROUND. About 20 engine stands that went round & around, 1 engine would leave the area & another from the motor line would take it's spot. IMAGINE; 20 engines (383, 440, & 6pk) all running at the same time. I'll never forget the sound. Workers started them, timed them, and ran the heck out of them. Once in awhile, BLAM & the engine quit, off to the repair area. Our engines had NO carbs, fan, exhaust manifolds when it left TEP. Again, I'm 18, single, living at home, 3 months on the job I buy a new 1969 Road Runner, B5, bench seats, 4 on the floor, 383, flat black strips, redline tires. Well .... 9 months later, 23 pts on my driving license, lost my license for 60 days, I traded it in. Now I get a new 1969 Charger, 318 bummer, auto/console, a/c, light green, it was SWEET!! True story, TWO new 1969's within 9 months. about $3200 for RR & about $3700 for Charger. I wished I could have kept them. Retiring at the age of 48, I did not sit on my butt. I started a lawn cutting business & did some side work as an electrician until the age of 60, THEN, I officially retired. In my avatar you can see my 1969 Barracuda that I own now, something about the "69" mopars, that I truly love. Sorry about the length of my post, omg, the pics of TEP bring back so many memories !!!
