DAY 3: Just looking

We didn't have much time today, but we did verify that the old battery was garbage.  With that known we borrowed the battery from "the little guy" and turned the engine over just for fun.  At least we know it turns over.

We couldn't manage to get gas to the carburetor so there was no chance of it firing at all.  We're going to move ahead with the engine removal.  Eli removed the hood but that's about all we got accomplished.

He was pretty excited to see everything light up with the battery in though! He flipped all the switches and levers.  Everything works electrically except the reverse lights.  We're a long way from needing those so no one is too worried.

Today cost: zero - we put the battery back in the truck
Total project cost: $2,048.31
