The family wanted to go look at Christmas lights, so I suggested I’d drive them around in the back of the truck so they could have an unobstructed view in the crisp sub freezing air. Apparently they have no sense of adventure so I didn’t get to drive it tonight! :lol:

I had a dead battery this week... kinda odd. 12.0x volts.
However, it wouldn't throw over in the cold.

I put the battery charger on it and went to bed.

I checked the cells in the battery and only one cell was slightly low on water, so I topped it off with a few ounces of water.

I checked it not running at 13.4 volts after the re-charge... fired right up with no problems. I checked it running and it was running at 14.5 volts.

I was having a weird thing with my brake lights staying on... turned out the ol' stop light switch had worked itself loose, so I'm guessing it was draining the battery down enough to be a pain.

I checked and cleaned the connections on the batt. terminal to be on the safe side... snugged up the stop light switch... and put it all back together.

vroooooom.

I'm hoping that is all that it was.

Got my front tires swapped over to the new 15x7 wheels. The tires stretch out nicely and eliminate the puny look of the skinny front wheels. Here are the 215-70/15 tires on the old 15x5 front rims:

And here are the same tires on 15x7 wheels. (The one on the far left is a 255 rear tire):

Now if I can just manage enough restraint to wait until decent weather to put them on the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Dropped off the bench seat at the Upolstry shop. Expect it back in a week maybe 2 at the most. Mr. Jay (Picayune, MS.) had a beautiful 1939 De Soto in house and was re-doing the interior in a Houndstooth tan cloth, talk about gorgeous. Whew-wee it was pretty. I'll have picture ready when I pick it up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Reinstalled Carpeting.

Previous Owner had installed carpet out of a later model truck. Since the truck will end up as a shop truck / patina'd warhorse, I decided to just reinstall the carpet. It doesn't fit perfect and it is faded, but it will be just fine.

Ha!, I put carpet in my truck today too!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

My 15 year old daughter took her first drive in the 66 last night. I was sweating bullets.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Just wait until they head off to high school .... in your truck.... then you really worry..
My daughter drove "her" 64 from the first day of school until the roads got slick and snowy in November. She is "stuck in the 'Yota" for the winter.
She really misses her truck. She still gets to drive "Lola" on nice days when the roads are good.

PS Lola is the name for her trans-gendered truck now that the 3-speed has become an automatic . Remember the Kinks classic hit, L-O-L-A, Lola :lol:
