Youtube - Resurected army truck

[patallen]

Hi Guys, i am the one who screams in the background with the camera.

Its my first post here....

Several years passed by and we decided to bring the truck at my home so i can spend the time to fix it.

Yes, its sorta very odd, Ford cab over a chev body. We are not responsible of its poor condition, altough we drive it often in the woods and sometimes hit some trees.

The only good thing about it is that it made it to the 21th century still on its 4 wheels, and running.

I will post some pictures and questions about it soon

-battery location/tray
-various brakets purpose on it (flags,...)

within the past few days i fixed the electrical system, converted to 12v. I have few schematics but none matches the dash. There is 2 "functions" that are not present on any of the schematics i have, one is "auto pulse" and the other is "clear headlights isolation"....

I also opened the speedometer and managed to unseize it and making it look good...

i am always stumped about this truck everytime i look at it, and surprisingly enough, there is not even a single bolt or nuts that broke on me yet.

fwiw i am electronic engineer and do a lot of mechanic on antique cars, BMW to name one.

Thanks for watching.
