    . What is amazing is the guys who know how to use a duckbill hammer make it look so easy. Those soldiers who needed remedial learning - not as much - and they worked much harder!

    . And controlling the vacuum on more modern vehicles was done with a plastic "ball" shaped device under the hood in the late 70's and early 80's so there was a place to store extra vac. Didn't work as well as it could have because of the overheated engine bay with all the smog crap on vehicles...

    . Absolutely! It is so neat when you are expecting it AND if you have an assistant driver. Accelerate (no wiper), let off & clutch in (wiper!) and repeat through the gears. Then do it again every time you start off - even on flat ground. :cool:

    . Electric is going to be more reliable. Vacuum operated wipers have a serious lack of vacuum on a long up hill pull for example. The manifold vacuum will go almost to zero and the wipers will stall. No big deal, unless it is raining hard... Electric wipers keep moving until the motor burns up.

    . I know I have said it before - but you have a sweet woman! Hard to find one willing to think it out and help you get new toys to play with "to boot". She is First Class for sure!

    . Your truck will have a "peddle" (foot button) above the gas peddle that is where you step on the starter. There is no electric solenoid. It is a manual actuator. Unlike the truck above yours with a start button.

    . Ken, I don't know how much history you can find on the truck, but the red rims might have made it a fire truck at some point in time - or it could have been a truck from RH Boulighy who had a repair facility over in Pensacola, Florida. The little heater box under the dash screams out saying...

    . Ken, I can already see that truck in all its glory. The sheetmetal is in amazing condition considering that it has been out in the weather all that time. Already pretty, but she is going to be a beauty for sure...
