Task number one with the new truck is passing New Hampshire's vehicle inspection. These inspections are actually the reason I opted to go old instead of new with the truck--no 'check engine' lights or emissions sensors!
My punchlist is pretty short. The power brake booster is shot. It sucks wind--literally--when I depress the brake pedal. No sweat. I also have to wire in a horn and glue a rear view mirror to the windshield. Once I get those things accomplished, we'll go see what the inspector has to say. Ha! Can't wait.
On a personal note, one of my pet peeves is the bad window tint on this truck. I'm a bit of a purist--give me a razor blade and a half-hour and I'll take care of it.
I love that these old cars are so simple. Fuses. Not PCM computers or logic centers. Wires. Not fusable links and breakers. Common sense. Not sensors looking at other sensors. Old school!
