Truck Update
So.....went and bought a new battery today for the truck. My brother-in-law was kind enough to install it for me, in the cold, cold rain. But- it didn't work. Nope. The truck still won't even turn over. No lights. No clicking. No nothing. Unless my dad finds something in the morning, I guess I'll have to get it towed to a shop so they can check it out. Which, incidentally, I already made an appointment at a shop to look at my other car on Thursday. So if you happen to think about me during the day, then pray for me, as I have no car to drive, two cars to fix, and not enough money to do to it all with. There- I've said my piece, counted to ten, and now I'm going to bed.

I asked my hubby about your truck predicament. He's a mechanic or at least used to be. Actually worked for a dealership on Cadillac's and Volvo's several years back and still tinkers with our stuff. He said most likely it would be the starter. It has a solenoid on the top of it that could be bad not even letting it click. I always thought they'd at least click. :-) He said it's easier to replace the whole thing and a 73 model shouldn't be that expensive. Another thing that he thought maybe least likely if it's an automatic could be a neutral safety switch. If that's the case then you could try and start it in neutral and if it starts then that's your problem. If it's a manual it has a clutch switch that could be bad. Now this is info I gathered from him as he was preparing to leave for work. I'd had time to read a few blogs last night to unwind and saw where you were having trouble. Any more ? and it may be late tonight before I can get answers. :-) Maybe it will help and you might have already checked all that. Just trying to help.
Take care.

P.S.It also might be the ignition switch. I didn't get much info on how to check that one, He was on his way out the door.

Call me..... I can probably help.

you might want to ask about the flux capacitor, those seem to go bad at the wrong time.
This has nothing to do with the truck, but I didn't know how to e-mail you. ha ha
Was it you that told me you put Desitin on eczema? I tried it as a "gee wiz" type thing on Savannah, and it REALLY helped!! I've been buying $30 tubes of lotion, and this helped. :)
