Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 3,565 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 3,565 | I drive my van every Wednesday for 4 hours on my paper route. This week I swapped the stock radio for another one that had both channels working. AHHHHH that sweet stereo sound... Aaaaaand I tried (unsuccessfully at that) to fix a windshield leak. Yep, it's a Chevy alright. I can stick my finger in the hole I found. I guess I just need to administer more roof patch. More is better right?

Took the battery to auto zone to get charged up. I think the battery is on its last legs. Gotta hook up the trailer and get a washer/dryer tomorrow.

I just found an 82' tilt column with pulse wipers, was the pulse just a plug in for you? Yep, a box that plugs in between the column harness and chassis harness. So the column came with the box? I thought I had a column, was going to drive there tomorrow and now they say they don't have it. I posted in the wanted section. I am still a newbie this isn't hijacking a thread is it? sent

Practice. You can see it on left. Made a thicker one today. I used an old clamp on spotlight with the adjusto arm hardware on a rusty old 1$ home depot clamp, and used a ciggy plug, for now. Superbrite spotlight I can easily reach and point anywhere in the Van from the roof, Or I can unclamp and relocate it. A little final sanding, staining and polyurethane might occur in the near future, or it might not. Here it is clamped on the tongs which hold my roof fans to the ceiling. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,522 Likes: 135 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,522 Likes: 135 | Arianrhod:2003 Chevy Astro Black Magic: 1985 Dodge B-250 Serenity:1985 Chevy G-20 The Outcast:1983 Ford club wagon Luna 1974 VW bay window transporter Freedom:1990 Ford E-150(parts van) Outcast Vanners van club Support your local 2% | | |
