I had other running around to do today. By the time I came back home, I only had a few hours of daylight left before the shadows of the mountain start casting on the valley floor. I managed to get the filler neck installed and managed to cut the unleaded neck out to fit the diesel fuel nozzle at a fuel station. I was getting sore from lying on the ground to deal with that, so I shifted over to dealing with the brake light issue. Now I got power past the brake light switch still not making it to
I managed to get alot done today on Thor. Everyone was pitching in between Mark and Suzanna. We temporarily rigged up the AirDog fuel system so I could move the entire truck outside. I've got a trick I'm going to show on Thor that I'm doing for a AirDog soon. Already got the straw done in the sender basket.

Yesterday, I got the electrical for the bed strung down frame. I have all new electrical running to the bedand taillights.

I managed to get oil and an oil filter for Thor. Then, fresh coolant. I'm hoping to do a recrimp of the radiator here very soon. Back on track, I've got to haul down to Horsesh
Yup. Thor is a running and driving truck now. I've been fighting to find a 3rd Generation bed, taillights and tailgate for Thor. Surprise, Surprise! The 3rd Generation trucks in the Boise Valley are all short bed. OMG! This is nuts. I spent over 5 miles of hiking just walking around the wrecking yards attempting to find a truck bed for Thor. Long Bed boxes are rare, and if you find one, typically the bed is completely hammered like I've got a few photos of trucks with long boxes but the truck lo
