What did you do to your truck today!

I said howdy to the '67 today, but did not work on it. I straightened out the garage and inventoried my electrical supplies. Some how I fried the cheap volt ohm meter a few days ago so I added it to the list of electrical supplies needed.

I decided to take a break from the '67 today and look over and do some minor work on the '75 C-30 dually. I cleaned up the wiring mess underneath the truck by the rear bumper. Then I crawled all over and under it checking things out. I found some bolts missing from the rear cross-member so I replaced them. It was such a nice day I took the '75 for a short cruise down some old country roads and the temperature stayed withing an acceptable range. A week or so ago I replaced the thermostat and put fresh anti-freeze in it since the engine temperature was getting in the upper range of the gauge.

Replaced the alternator, forgot to disconnect the battery and nearly burned the truck down. Small wire off the positive terminal turned glowing hot and I put it out with my hand instead of making a mess with the fire extinguisher. Uh, guys, don't forget to disconnect he battery when doing electrical work. Oh well, new alternator, a little electrical tape, and she fires right up. Rock on.

Fired the truck up today. No leaks to be found. It even idled good and carried around 25 psi oil pressure. I ordered a new oil cap/breather for the valve cover...no one around here has one. I also found out why its on 7 cylinders, I have a burned plug wire. Figured it out when I touched it moving the distributor and got lit up. What fun. Chris
