You guys are going to think I am crazy!
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.

Re: You guys are going to think I am crazy!
"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.

Re: You guys are going to think I am crazy!
Check your wiring harness, most likely it is a short, water may be the culprit.

Re: You guys are going to think I am crazy!
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!

Re: You guys are going to think I am crazy!
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. |

Re: You guys are going to think I am crazy!
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.

Re: You guys are going to think I am crazy!
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 ......... ![]() |
