You guys are going to think I am crazy! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

caminokid · 12-10-2008, 08:41 PM

The last couple of nights since that 69 C-20 has been here...weird things have been going on. The first night I dismissed the happenings as kids in the neighbor hood messing around. I pulled it in backwards. I woke up and it was half way up the drive up against the stepper. Weird thing is I left it in 2nd when i parked it....and it was in 1st when I found it. I walked out yesterday morning and the radio was on. The keys werent in it. The minute I opened the door...the radio went off. I tried like he!! to get it to come back on...jingle the wires....hit the dash...slammed the door. Nothing. WTF? So I took the radio out. Stopped that problem. I looked out last night and the dome light was on....It didnt work when I got it. Walked out the front door and as I got to the front of the stepper....it went off. I went and kicked the cab...nothing...I jingled every wire in that truck and nothing. Ok enough of that crap! Out came the battery. Nothing happened this morning. I dont want to say I believe in this stuff...but I almost think thet damn thing was haunted.

Jtrux · 12-10-2008, 08:50 PM

I can take a lot of crap but that kind of stuff spooks the sh!t out of me.

dirtyd_nd · 12-10-2008, 08:50 PM

"Bobby Bouche, That thing has the devil in it!!!" A little "Waterboy" quote. Slightly modified. If anything happens with the battery out, burn it to the ground. Oh and if the doors are in decent, I'll take my chances.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-10-2008, 08:51 PM

That is kinda weird. Better not sleep near it anytime soon.

thirdstreettito · 12-10-2008, 08:51 PM

Check your wiring harness, most likely it is a short, water may be the culprit.

Right at this time...there is no wiring. I took it all out today with the whole front sheet metal. i dont think it will do anything...but if it does...I am calling a Priest!

68gmsee · 12-10-2008, 09:04 PM

Probably a wiring short with the light and a mechanical adjustment with the trans.

But, if it's not then it's,

Some sort of mild exorcism might be in order. Sprinkle some holy water on it and hang a cross on the rear view mirror. Maybe a bible on the front seat. Put it all back together and see what happens.

These things develop a mind of their own sometimes. I had a car that sometimes wouldn't work when my wife would try to drive it. I would try it and it would always work like a champ. Go figure.

MT71c-10 · 12-10-2008, 09:08 PM

This sounds like Christine's brother. Pull it down, rid the evil demons!! Unless it starts putting itself back together????????????

**VetteVet** · 12-10-2008, 09:17 PM

I would have left it alone and before long it would have had a new engine,tranny and a paint job.

Now that you mentioned that...there was a cross hanging from the sunvisor on the right side. And a the book bible in the glove box...i took them out the afternoon I got the truck. Maybe the grandfather is mad at me now for removing those items.

Now that would have been cool.

harlyworkr · 12-10-2008, 10:12 PM

Can I let my ex spend the night in it?

sleepertruck72 · 12-10-2008, 10:19 PM

Yoe are kidding right ? Thats funny though, if you ask me. Maybe the previous owner left it tweeked so that maybe you return it

stllookn · 12-10-2008, 10:21 PM

[QUOTE]I would have left it alone and before long it would have had a new engine,tranny and a paint job.[QUOTE]

I would have parked it at the nearest Chevrolet dealership next to a 2009 Corvette!!!!!

I just love that spooky stuff!!!!!

**CPNE** · 12-10-2008, 10:24 PM

I suggest you read

this book

**CPNE** · 12-10-2008, 10:26 PM

Okay, that's weird

468BIGBLOCK · 12-10-2008, 10:28 PM

Remember the movie ( christine)?

joekewl_chevyfreak · 12-10-2008, 10:55 PM

Thats spooky O_o. I'd put my money on private malone

that sounds kinda like my dodge when i got it... the headlights and the horn and the radio and the entire dash cluster was messed up... i pulled the radio and replaced the dimmer switch and changed out the walmart battery for a duralast gold and she's fine. the gauges are fried now tho O_O

matthufham · 12-10-2008, 11:16 PM

you got the electrical gremlins, gotta hate them!

cstm68 · 12-10-2008, 11:52 PM

phipp13 · 12-11-2008, 12:02 AM

I wish I was kidding. This truck is parts...plain and simple. The cab is in too bad of shape. But the finale thought after 3 days of weird stuff going on is that it needs to be disassembled. The 396 and trans and cab is out tomorrow. Then i will take the bed off. Hopefully The weird stuff doesn't happen after I get the truck together in the garage. I guess there is a lesson to this....if it is covered in bible bomber stuff....then there has to be a reason for it.

The Truck version Of Christine But that $Hit can stay in Hollywood I'd Be Spooked..................

big_al_71 · 12-11-2008, 08:42 AM

Send it to me downhere in miami,,, we have alot of "Brujeros" and they can do a "Cleansing" off of it and get rid of any and all spirits....

Rewire the thing all new wires and watch the spirits dissapear...

68shortstep · 12-11-2008, 05:10 PM

I work in real estate, & several years ago, I listed a house for sale that the owner swore up & down "was haunted."

We disclosed that the seller felt it was haunted, & the buyer knew about it, & said he didn't care.

He sold it within a year or so, & it's changed hands a couple more times since then .........
