Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Redoing the e-brake cable run, geometry was not right and it was not working. I hate welding on my nice shiney frame....

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Yesterday went about 106 miles round trip to The Koskonog Goat sale. Sold our billy goat and some unwanted roosters. Bought a Regestered Nubian Milk goat. She is pregnant and due to kid in a week or two. A couple of guys tried to buy my Zombie truck. One offered $500?

Wow, that could have been me and my buddies in the late 60's. Only thing missing was the girls we were trying to impress!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Today I went and filled the bed with firewood& and then loaded up a LB stepside I had at my other place. I plan on replacing the fleet side with the step side. Pictures of the bed and the goat I hauled yesterday.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 Just got it home Sunday. Put a new battery in it and actually got to drive it this morning. Carburetor is in serious need of a trash can and the head lights don't work. Steering feels good and the breaks work.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Figured out I got one wire to the trailer harness wrong, but ran two spare circuits to back so easy fix. 12v power would have been on a circuit only live when the engine is running....

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Nothing much
Found out the Air blower works in my '59 but only works on low, the resistor will need replacing eventually. Tried figuring out why the Right Turn signal and Brake light isn't working.. Assuming its Switch related because of changing fuses out etc

Watch this video and spend $25 on an inexpensive multimeter, will save a LOT of time chasing electrical problems. Then you can see if its the socket, wiring or turn signal switch that is the problem. Also get about 16 feet of 16 ga wire, cut in two and solder aligator clips (one black,one red) on one end of each piece. Wire nut them together you have a jumper, undo them and you have extensions for the multimeter for testing resistance in long circuits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF3OyQ3HwfU

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Secured another handful of lines / wires, trying to keep things from melting / rubbing thru / catching fire. Drove it around the block just to see how it went.
