I usually try to out last a problem and I think I learned my lesson on the front fenders so I dont mind asking anymore. We put my Sons 64 hood on in about 10 minutes and Im hoping this one goes the same but this truck seems like its been fighting us a little more than my Sons 64 did. JRBECK64 |

Didn't get the hood on but did install the shoulder harness seat belts so here is a couple of pictures of me and my #1 Dog Helper (JUDGE) under the truck with me. By the way, Im setting here drinking a Dead Guy Ale Beer from Rogue Brewery and its cold and tasting really good. Judge is looking at me like he wants a drink but dog friendship only goes so far.

Re: My Oldest Sons Frankentruck Project
Well We got the Hood and the Cowl Panel on and aligned. Now if I could just find my Upholstery Guy. I think he May be In the Himalaya's Visiting the Dolly Lama while using my door panels as a sled. I come more beleiving he got eaten by a Yetti. Ok enough of that, Here are the Pictures I said I would send out before we leave on our Alaskan Cruise so I kept my promise. Here they are.

Re: My Oldest Sons Frankentruck Project
WoW... I feel so inspired...that thing looks absolutley awesome. I guess I need to call and cancel the vodoo hex I was going to put on you for not getting us pic before you left.... now if i can figure out what I did with that vodoo witch doctors phone number.... I Hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise... My mom and dad are going to be going on one soon also. They are doing the trip from Anchorage to ketchikan I believe.... Once again awesome...I will redirect the hex to your Upholstery man...if I can find that number.... by the way love the dog...we just got one two weeks ago and she is a cutie...Bon voyage...and have fun.

Re: My Oldest Sons Frankentruck Project
Nice looking truck! Congradulations on the build!! I did not read every post so forgive me if this is a repeat question. How much do you have invested in the truck...from what you paid for the truck until you have everything that your going to put on it. I am asking since I just finished my truck not to long ago and it adds up fast. But atleast you did most of the work which saves you alot of green.

Re: My Oldest Sons Frankentruck Project
Thanks for the Compliment and Were going to give it our best shot. I promiced my Wife like 10 years ago and about 6 trucks ago that I would take her on an Alaskan Cruise so here we go. I didn't tell my Wife about the fact that Kidney Stone #74 thats 6mm long is trying to work its way out. Im taking my heavy hitting Narcotics with me in case the pain get to be to much. One of them and a Beer and I could get run over by a train and I wouldn't know it. Your all Sworn to Secrecy.

Re: My Oldest Sons Frankentruck Project
Hey, need someone to watch over the rig while your gone? I promise I'll wipe the drool stains off.
Enjoy your cruise, but leave the k-stone here. No sense packing extra weight. MJH |

My Wife and I had a great time. I got stung by a JellyFish when I was pulling a Crab Pot and that hurts in fact it hurt for about 6 hours and then it went away. The Kidney Stone quit moving for the whole cruise luckily. Them Cruises are nothing but an Eating Festival. I cant believe how much food there is on one of those ships. Well the Truck goes in for its Front End Alignment on Monday then it goes to the Muffler Shop on Tuesday to get the Exhaust System installed. Im really looking forward to starting my next project (67 Shortwide). JRBECK64 |

Re: My Oldest Sons Frankentruck Project
Definitely sounds like a shorted wire in the switch. It is apparently shorted to the case if insullating it fixed the problem. I would replace the switch. No sense in living with a known problem that can be fixed.

I thought it might make for a Redneck Joke, You know he's a redneck if he insulates the switch rather than buy a new one!!! JK, but I am going to buy a new one and I totally agree with you. We have taken this truck this far and it would be stupid not to fix it. JRBECK64 |
