Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Well, compared to a lot of you I did not do much today but I am happy I got something done.

It was not as blazing hot today as it has been and I decided not to work on the room I am building for my wife, she is at work, lol!

I had not started the '71 with the 454 lately so I decided to start it and take it for a short drive, wouldn't you know it the battery was too low to start it. I charged the battery, sprayed some starting fluid in the carb and it started right up. I took it for a short drive to give it a little exercise.

When I got back from the drive I put the battery charger back on it. I got the heat shield tubing out I had bought, heck, six months ago and put it on the spark plug boots. Now I am not so worried the spark plug boots will be damaged.
