Paul Hitch was the Chief Engineer of Chevrolet Trucks from 1965 - 1976. Working for GM from 1935-1978. 

Paul turned 102 just a few months after this recording dropped. He passed away March of 2020, just after truning 103. I always enjoyed my time talking with Paul, and I will be forever greatful for his friendship, and that I was able to share that with you all! 

Paul shares some great knowledge with us about the trucks, the history and his career. 

His son Doug Hitch sits in on this one as well. 

There is also some recordings I had with Paul after this initial pod, so listen until the end. I hope you enjoy this Re-Pod, as I always enjoy hearing Paul's story - The GREATEST Generation!
