Talking UP-DATE--THE BEASTT ROARS

Been working hard on the BEASTT and today it roars,finally figured out their was no constant power to the fuel relay so it would run for 15 seconds then shut down, about drove me nuts so my buddy came over today and within 5 minutes after putting a jump wire on the relay it's running perfect, rear brakes gone through, e-brake working, tires and wheels mounted and installed, wrecker bed back on and ready to install new side panels, still haven't found a sleeper but still looking for one.
I'm so happy to have it running that I took Linda out for Supper tonight and I had to sit on my hands to keep from waving at everybody we saw, more to follow when I get some new pics, I'm happy, happy, happy. Garry

It's always great when you can get over that hump that comes alone from time to time.

54truck. it was running when I backed it in the garage before I took the step van body off but somewhere in the change over I lost the constant power to the computer, it would start and run for about 15 seconds then shut down but now with a jump wire for constant power it runs great, Garry
