Replaced 12 volt power supply fuse. Still unsure why it blew.
May have been due to a dodgy plug I bought from Wally World for dual USB charger input for phone in the dash.

Just drove around town today. Did get our new grill the other day though! First new one in about 10 years. Probably longer... Washed it today also.

Cool, I had a '79 Diablo. It's now sitting on my Dad's farm rotting into the ground. Frame rusted through in the back and I wasn't smart enough as a kid to watch out for it when I bought it. I finally gave up when the tranny died. Obviously, nothing compared to yours but I had fun with it.

Sucks, man. This Elco isn't mine, but it is what I've been driving for about 3 weeks. My truck was rear ended, so dad's letting me drive it until I get my 03 back. Gotta say, thing is an absolute blast to drive. Its an '86 SS Choo Choo Customs. Whats really nice is what works on it. Power windows, locks, 5 out of 6 gauges (Speedo bounces), all the lights, wipers, and the real kicker... A/C and cruise. Surprised me a lot when the cruise actually engaged. It is for sale (life as a dealer), but not trying terribly hard since I need something to drive.

Definitely do know I'll miss driving it everyday. Doesn't mean I don't want my truck back, but I know I'll never get tired of driving this old Elco. Even with the original 305 under the hood being a gutless hunk of motor, lol.

Swung by my P.O. box, and my license plates had arrived. Really like the new truck and this forum. Lots of great info!

Had to clean her up after camping over the 4th. Between the gravel, silt, dust and dog hair she was a mess!

Just changed the oil and plugs. Then I removed my tonno cover.
