This morning I got both Flaming River Battery Lockout switches installed; each has provisions for locks to be placed on them to prevent starting/running. I plan on installing the negative ground wires for both my 24V & 12V circuits to each of these switches. Tomorrow I plan on running to NAPA to get some new cable for the ground wires, as the stock one is corroded & frayed beyond use.
I also disassembled the front turn signal mounts on both sides, in anticipation of installing LED turn signals. I already have LEDs for the rear, just need to install them.
I also took care of many smaller, time-consuming issues this morning as well. I removed the headlight switch housing since it was broken & missing levers; there was a spare functional one that came with the truck, so I cleaned it up & installed it. While the headlight switch was out, I got a small wrench behind the dash so I could tighten the nut on the fuel shutoff switch...now that works as it should. I also relocated the passenger's side seatbelts to accomodate the upcoming bucket seats installation, and replaced missing rivets on the dash data plates.
It's amazing how such a good deal on these fine trucks can turn into a really time-consuming & expensive project...I bought this truck last November, and it's STILL not driveable yet! But it should be soon, I only have a few weeks left to get it driving & registered (personal deadline). All in all, it's coming along pretty good.
