Today is my trucks “birthday”LOL
I’ve had it exactly one year today, and it’s been quite the adventure. To start with, in the last year, it’s had three different engines under its hood:joker: I’ve learned a lot with it, that’s for sure. This I what it looked like when I got it:

I want to thank all the members here on Oilburners for all their helpful information and insight. I was a lurker here for 10 of the twelve months I’ve owned my truck and I don’t think I would have been able to build it and rebuild the engine without all the wisdom on this forum. Thank you all:) :)

Well I committed the unspeakable sin with my truck today (not that one pervert LOL)

I used speaker wire instead of primary wire because I was in a hurry and that was what I had available.

Good news is my fender lights work again LOL

Painted the bottom strip grey. It had a lot of surface rust and I had 20$ so figured I could keep myself busy. I’m actually really surprised with how well it came out. 2 cans of rustoleum and some sand paper got it done

On Passenger side attached to fuel line to filter. The smaller tube appears to be vacuum. Any advice?

It’s ok.... one of the trucks a member had, the PO had used what looked like ROMEX to wire the hip lights..... and yes they worked.

I tried to get my window washer working again, apparently the hose I bought was too big. It sprays, but it sprays under the hood too... I'll try the next size down as I can't really get in there to put a zip tie on it.

I'm pretty sure that the rubber hose is supposed to attach to the water drain on the sediment bowl. If you no longer have a sediment bowl, then it has nothing to attach to. I have no idea why it appears to have a plastic vacuum line going into the rubber hose. If you follow the metal line down, it should end part way down the metal fuel line that goes from the lift pump up to the fuel filter.
