I've got a whole big list of things that I want to do to the truck overall but figured I would make one of the things I have to complete before driving her to the local inspection station here in Texas. Hopefully, I will catch everything BEFORE the trip (no Whammies, no Whammies!).

Here goes:

1) Headlights - Have new set ready to install
2) Parking Lights - Present but not lit
3) Brake Lights - Present but not lit
4) Horn - Broken/chewed up and missing wires
5) Wipers - Passenger side works; driver side doesn't
6) Turn Signals - Nada
7) Glass - Rear window on backorder with Jim Carter (anyone know if it'll pass without it?)

The truck is still running 6V but was apparently jump started with a 12V fairly often. My guess is that I have a bunch of blown bulbs and/or fuses. I have the Shop Manual, a multi-tester, two spools of 14 gauge wire and some solderless connectors.

Any other tips on where to start with the wiring project? I don't have the time or budget for a new harness right now so I'll have to fix what I've got.

Thanks!


People keep asking what I want to do when I grow up. I don't understand the question.
