Back with a new toy
It has been ages since I have been here! I have had busy times. I had a baby boy who was around 3 months premature. He survived 3 and a half wonderful weeks. He passed away in October from necrotizing encreolitis. Hard to put a 2 pound baby in the ground.
Been struggling for a while, but things are getting better. I have a new little guardian angel up there who is always looking down on daddy and making sure he is safe. I'm pretty dang lucky! Here is the update on the vehicles. My 82 may be up for sale soon. I just bought a 93 Chevy 1 ton dually. It has 208,000 on it. The transmission just had over 2 grand put into it about 200 miles ago. The engine was redone about 20,000 miles ago. The engine is the 454 TBI and it has 4.10 gears. It also came with a flip down gooseneck and a 5th wheel plate already installed. Electronic brake controller is in the cab as well. Pretty decent truck for the price. But it has it's hidden problems. I got it home and had some marker light issues. Come to find out that the whole truck experienced quite a short at one time and fried a lot of things. So now I am on the lookout for parts. I need someone to tell me what years will cross. I am going to need the wiring connector and the headlight switch. I am going to need a new plug that plugs into the condensor on the air conditioning. I am going to need a new third brake/cargo light lense. Would like to find the oil cooler lines since they hacked those off. I will need a new drivers side headlamp assembly. Then there is this odd connector that I am guessing is for the computer. It is on the drivers side of the engine right by the starter. It looks like a temperature or a pressure sending unit. I will need that plug as well. I would like to know what years/models these parts will swap. I know that the 90 Chevy 1/2 tons have the same looking headlight switch. If I can get an idea of what crosses, I can start searching the local yards. Thanks for any info! I hope that everyone has been doing well! Later!
