So, I just returned from an overseas deployment with the Navy, and did a once-over inspection of my truck today (1971 M817). Looks like someone helped themselves to the battery boxes and batteries, and cut the battery cable where it comes past the cab to top it off... Gah, so frustrating! It's going to take me another 2-3 months to afford to replace everything, unless I can find a decent deal on a set of battery boxes... I guess I'll just run new cables (was needed anyway, as the originals were starting to heat up during hard starts), and probably run two Optima batteries in series to get her rolling until I can find a reasonably priced set of 6TL's. It's just insanely ironic that I was giving up my freedoms overseas and came back to find that someone stole from me....
Oh well, I guess it doesn't do any good to complain. Time to get hunting for replacement parts!
