Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Not much to show but big day man. This has been what's approaching an 8 year project. I'm still waiting on bumpers, upholstery held hostage by a covid economy, hub caps, and the grilles I'll install after the A/C is charged. Beyond that I had one last thing I could possibly do, and that's install the windshield wipers.
I've only seen the truck with a battery say 20 minutes. Everything works so far, but then came what I was waiting for most, the washer pump. not a drop. Clicked that dude say a dozen times or so, nothin. Heck I bought the truck in 1989 and it's never worked. But I knew the pump was operable years ago, after I cleaned her out and tore this thing down. So I thought, what happens if I prime the system by blowing into washer bottle's hose with my lungs. Wholly cow, hit the pump and struck water. Another dozen pumps later and hallelujah. I also finished the assembly guide I've worked on for this entire ride. Really happy about that. I spent more time on that than actually building the truck.
