Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Electrical fire but had I been carrying an extinguisher I could have saved the truck. I will travel with one going forward.

a buddy of mine is a firefighter captain and he points out that it is actually the metal that burns not only because of the paint but because of the flammable particles in it, as well as the electrical wire shielding conduit, interior, seats, and of course the gasoline and oil, so please, please think about that if you ever face the inevitable "Electric Cars Catch On Fire" argument, ahem discussion |

This whole dang project happened while I was away from the board and I'm very impressed.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
this made me chuckle as I recalled sitting on the kitchen floor pouting while building the 40 pin wiring connector for the electric truck
my wife walked into the kitchen and asked how it was going it's hard babe, I don't think I can do it, I told her Didn't you used to do LS Swaps? she asked I did, I replied ... and how many pins were those connectors? she asked 80, I said "EIGHTY" she replied whilst grabbing a Klondike bar out of the freezer with a smerk on her face Here's a trip down memory lane, and me working on an internal combustion engine wiring harness aka the 5.3L LS I shoved into a '54 Chevy truck, sure looks easy don't it? ha ha |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
This is one cool truck. But you sorta parked off center, makes it hard to get out on the driver side.
