That was it! After I got off work, I went to where it was stranded at and wiggled the wires near the fusible links. Everything started working. Drove it home, going to run to the parts store tomorrow and change em out. Any idea what they run price wise? Once again, a HUGE thank you!

This morning it was pretty chilly. I drove my truck to the store, left it running because I have no thermostat. When I hopped back in it, I plugged my inverter / phone charger in the cigarette plug and the entire truck died. Something blew in the electrical system. No idiot lights on dash, no power to the ignition. When you turn the key, nothing happens. No sound from the fuel pump. Headlights & dash lights will come on. Hazard works as well as dome lights. I'm pretty sure a major fuse or relay is blown, but have not the foggiest idea which one. Please help!

Yessir, I got a freind that welds & fabricates metal. Going to have them make it so I can put a winch hidden under the rear bumper. The original one broke in half when I tried pulling a freind out of a mudhole.

I now finally feel like I can be a part of this group. Any ideas where I could get a used roll bar for this baby at ? I'm in Texas.

But the finished product took my breath away - I highly recommend using Herculiner on your vehicle. It adds a level of character to a vehicle that is amazing.

Used sheet metal and rivets to get the severe rust spots patched over. Also used metal tape.

The mold inside was pretty bad. There was a rust hole on the roof where it leaked into it at, and the vinyl took a lot of scrubbing to get the mold off of it.Bleach in a spray bottle and a TON of elbow grease.

We started with a truck that's been sitting under an oak tree for a while . Freind sold it to me. It's sat up for the past decade. Put a new battery in it, poured gas in the carb and it came to life. 4x4 - I knew this thing was destined for greatness. I seen the potential. We began stripping the paint off of the vehicle with a sander and grinders.

I've lurked here for over 2 years now, with envious eyes as to the amazing rides that have graced this forum. The amazing technical information you guys have discussed have helped me get my own ride on the road and in top order. Now, I no longer feel like I should hide in the shadows. It's time to come forward with my baby, and unveil her to the world. ALOT of people on this forum, unknowingly has helped me get my ride to where it is. I wanted to say THANK YOU, all of you, from the bottom of my heart. You might not know it, but your chatter back and forth about your trucks, your experiences, what you have done to your own ride helps countless other people who just lurk in the background. I was one of them - until today. I thought it was finally time to come out of the closet, because I'm proud of what we have created! I will post the photos of her in chronological order, with the latest being the last photos. Enjoy ;-) This photo is of the day I first got it running. I drove it up to the nearby store.
