work is progressing.



as you can see things are moving along. the marker lights and tail lights are installed, the pebble guard is in place, and the new 12 volt converter has been installed as is the power vent. most of the parts are in hand and ready to implant. the only stumbling block at this juncture may be the axle. new berrings will be installed and the electric brakes will be connected.if all the components are functional it is just a matter of routine maintenance (wishful thinking here). the previous owner for some reason disconnected the brakes, actually cut the wires away, perhaps it was because he didn't have the proper seven prong connecter on his pickup. he had cut off the old pigtail and installed temporary wiring to the tail lights and a four pronged flat connector. don't quite know why he cut off the wires to the brakes but i guess he felt that would somehow benefit the overall performance, logical? don't think so, can't reason it out.

randy sez end of the week it should be ready. i took the van over today to have it wired for the new electrical connection. won't be long now! she's looking good too. better than new.
