Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finished carving out space in my garage and moving my benches and boxes around
Installed floor anchors so I can winch by myself I've jiggered my divorced choke coil to make it kindasorta adjustable, and she smoked like a chimney on cold start, so I need to make a kindasorta adjustment ;-) Asked for an electric choke for Father's Day :-D Drilling concrete w/o a hammer drill is tedious and the drill wanders

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I also pulled the plug off one of the headlights to diagnose an intermittent fault, and the lug came off the back of the light with the plug.
Root cause identified

Was it LED or incandescent [incl. Halogen] ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Less than $10 buck fix. R&R headlamp.
Bulb manufacturers will tell you to replace the pair. Sure. They sell twice the bulbs that way. You could keep the used/good one for a spare. How old was the failed one? Here in AZ corrosion is at a minimum, but Packrats might gnaw your wires out overnight. I left my Jimmy alone for about 3 nights. Rats chewed thru the #5 sparkplug wire. They were expensive blue silicone 8mm Taylor HEI wires. I found an old used yellow Accel wire and stuck it on. Works fine.

Not as versed in the 69/70 look. I'll need a pic. I guess you could still solder the lug back on for a backup.

One of the reasons my kids called this thing the "Indiana Jones ride" was because of the dim yellow headlights ;-)

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finally got another stereo installed.
Last one locked up on a reset. And got the cab corner mounts from Jeff Drew installed. May paint them eventually if I get around to repairing the rest of the rust.
