Re: One Piece at a Time - A True Friend

Thank you, Mike! We are very proud of how it all turned out.

I looked through some of the pictures of yours as well. That wrecked out blue truck is enough to make you want to cry! I can't even imagine.

Thanks bro, yeah sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision not fixing it but every truck we save and make awesome like yours is the way to go. My old blue cab went to a new project so it lives on.

2. The fuse block is mounted up under the dash, but the main power disconnect is mounted to the inside of the passenger's fender. The whole thing is clean and everything is easily accessible.

3. The pump for the windshield washing fluid was weak, so Ron found a super-charged one! Now we can spray water over the cab. Our last step was to squeeze down the two tubes the windshield washer fluid comes out of so we can actually get it to hit the windshield.
Les, You said "Trigimini switch" That's paramedic stuff. It's a "trianary switch" Haha

May i ask for some clarity on the fan control switch. I tried to look this up, but could not get any real info on it. I am interested in doing this exact same thing.
Thanks
BEAUTIFUL TRUCK!!!! love the color combo!!
