SIMS, Justice
(dissenting).
Since I joined the dissent in Gaidry Motor v. Brannon, Ky., 268 S.W.2d 627, 629, *585naturally I cannot agree with the majority opinion here.
There is still another reason I have for dissenting in this case. It is, this opinion goes much further than the Gaidry opinion in that here the seller had used the truck for some two months and discovered no mechanical defects in it. Patently, the seller here could not “foresee that his actions or failure to act may result in an injury to others”, as was said in the Gaidry opinion. It strikes me that this opinion in effect makes the seller a guarantor of the truck sold Haskins, although the latter had tried out the truck a couple of times before purchasing it and had satisfied himself with its mechanical condition.
I am authorized to say that Judge CAM-MACK joins me in the second paragraph of this dissent. •
