Yet another one bites the dust.... I blew another one - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 09-30-2005, 09:41 PM

Baaaaaaaaaad day.
I'm helping my dad haul the Ultra Light he just bought...just cruising down the road... everything is fine....
Check my guages...all is fine....
Everything workin like it should, other than the fuel and speedo guages...
Then....
Suddenly....
with no warning...

The last original headlight blows out. (heh heh heh ... you thought I blew another engine huh?)

This headlight has been around since before we went to the moon. It was the last original one from my old 69 GMC SWB. That sucker had 500,000 miles on it. Even though the light wasn't on for 500,000 miles, it was vibrating and taking a beating. It outlasted 3 engines, 3 trannys, probagbly a billion gallons of gas...
oh well.

Just thought I'd mess with y'all.
