Scrubbed prolly 20 years of dirt, moss and lichen off some seriously faded paint (this truck was last registered in 1980). Found a rust spot I didn't know existed at the rear corner of the cab. Managed to remove the completely corroded/frozen headlight switch without buggering up the dash paint. Plugged in a near perfect cigar lighter harvested at the U-Pull. Made plans for Sunday to pick up a bed off a '70 Ranger so she'll finally have something behind the cab.

Fixed the brake light switch, got under the back and removed all the extra plug ins and wiring from P O. Rerouted and re-taped rear loom, fixed right tail light. Installed two halogen head lamps. Then went for a short drive. :thup:

Drove it into town for the first time in a month, all the rest have been start it and move it around the yard.

Got the stupid lug nut lock off that I lost the key for. Cleaned up my back yard and put the fenders + inner fenders I had stored under the deck in the back of the truck. Home appraiser coming tomorrow. This weekend I WILL get that leaky wheel cylinder replaced.
