Stupidist thing Youve messed up on your truck

[Solver]

I can play on this post! Last night I was trying to get the long cable that goes from the heater controller into the heater box freed up. There is a little plastic cover under the dash where the cable goes through. pulled the little cover loose and shot a whole bunch of spray silicone inside the heater box. Cable was still sticking somewhere in there and couldn't find my flashlight soooooooo why not use my trusty bic lighter to look in there. I can tell you the flames shot outta that box a good 3 feet. singed all the hair on one of my arms. Luckily I hadn't got my head down under far enough when she blew!!!! I quit for the night!!!!

So far it looks like the gearing is a big difference, truck is more driveable I am also getting ready to put in a 200 r4 overdrive so it will be even better . Yea I know the story is hard to beat but a lesson well learned...if you cant laugh at yourself.................

I towed my C-30 all the way from Memphis to Milwaukee on a car dolly. Had the drive shaft unhooked and was in a rush. So I tied a rope to the rear bumper and the other end to a C60 I was parking in front of, and drove the dolly from under the front wheels. The C-30 came off the dolly fine, but rolled in to the front of the C60 and damaged my stepside tailgate beyond any repair

I did close to the same thing years ago. I had a '79 Honda CIVIC (please, no flaming) & my friend had a '67 Skylark we were trying to push up this incline into his garage. the brakes were hanging up & the grass was wet. "hey, I have an idea. lets use the Honda & put a tire between the bumpers. then we can use this nylon rope to tie the two together just in case". well....... it was going great until the Buick got up the sloped entrance & the brakes freed up. I stopped in a panic. the behemoth of a convertible didnt. it did stop after smashing his antique woodstove THROUGH the back wall of the garage.

While installing a new generator on my '52, I dropped it through the engine bay. It fell on the asphalt underneath and broke the bolt hole bracket cast into the front plate. Not even good for a core anymore!

Did my best to bolt it on with the two remaining holes, and wired the broken end with a coat hangar real tight around the exhaust pipe. Darn thing worked great for many years after that.
