Re: New truck

Thanks guys!

63 Whoopie/Chevy Fleetside: didn't get a chance to work on the truck today- Got a call from the guy I bought it from and he said he had found a bumper that he'd bought for the truck and for me to come pick it up. I now have a nice old (heavy) chrome front bumper to replace the bent up one that's on there.

I will say that that was exactly the problem with my 66- I cleaned the terminals, then swapped them out for new ones and the problem persisted- a buddy of mine who builds sandrails came over and took a look- went out, bought new cables, installed them and the problem was solved- the corrosion had crept its way under the insulation and caused so much resistance that the truck wouldn't start- so- I'm going to just get new cables with new terminals this weekend when I can work on the truck again. The ones that are on there look fairly ratty.

19GMC63 no trim yet- I'd like to get some on there, eventually-I like how the custom trim looks.

BTW- I finally ponied up for the subscription through paypal- how long does it take for my name to change color so I can take advantage of some of the member privileges(like posting WIW/WTB,WTS?)
