Re: Project No-buck!

Been driving the truck the last few days for work and around town afterwards. Should have to fill up tomorrow, so we'll see what the mileage is. I'm not expecting spectacular numbers with all the in town driving I've done.

I did get 3 compliments on the truck today, including one guy wanting to know how much I'd sell it for

Tonight I looked for an oil leak. I can smell oil burning (like on exhaust) when I'm decelerating. I looked the engine over and it all looked dry except for just a drop or two at the back of the oil pan. I tightened up the pan bolts just a little more, but I don't really think that is the problem. Guess we'll see.

Then I started cleaning up the wiring. The wiring in the "glovebox" area looked like a rats nest, so I got it taped up nicely and ready for some wiring covering tubing stuff. I also installed the glove box door.

Finally, I took a look at my cruise control switch. Cruise control isn't working cause the switch isn't working. I'm not sure if the switch was bad before I pulled it out of the donor truck or if when I welded it to the original shaft if the heat from welding melted something inside. Anyone know of a switch that will fit our columns, but has the proper GM cruise control switch on it (on my 68 I used a dakota digital switch and used some relays to get it to operate properly with the LSx drive by wire stuff).
