Re: 1964 GMC 1500 "crustine" semi- build.

Well....Another issue on Crustine that has Finally taken its toll is the Starter. If any of you watch my videos you'll notice that on a cold start I'll turn the key and get a loud click...and that's it. lol Then I take the cable off the battery...hook it back on and she turns over just fine...Ok...WAS working that way. Couple weeks ago(when I made the video-link below), I was experiencing more "clicking problems" then normal. Normally it would happen once....but this time it was two or three times. So Today I go to start the truck(its been sitting Almost 2 weeks) and all I keep getting is loud clicking...hit the starter with a hammer....still just clicking...so I took a volt meter to it...When the key was off my battery was a 12.52...key on....12.51....key in the start position .3045. LOL! SOMETHING wrong I think laddies!!! So I did the redneck start up.....using the handy ol screw driver and it cranked right over...SO its either my key switch...or some wiring..or the starter. Judging by how old and greasy the starter is I think its the problem...so I have one on order from Autozone. Couldn't go wrong getting one for $50! Heck that's cheaper than my 6 banger! I'll keep ya'alls posted! So poor ol Crustine is down.....maybe she's mad at me cause I've been devoting all my time to Two Tone.
