Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10

Here are a few pictures I took at the Seawall in Galveston, after the C10Club took a cruise down there from Houston. Aaron (aboesec10) and I drove together to join the rest of the club, then cruised down to Galveston with a known 115 trucks (maybe more if they weren't counted). We ended up as the last two trucks in the pack coming into Galveston.

Right as we were getting onto the island, I had a malfunction with my fans, so I overheated. Well, I guess it happened before, but by that point my truck threw a CEL and my temp gauge was pegged. The ECM didn't like that so it started to run ROUGH. Thankfully I got it shut off and we rigged up a temporary hard wire to get us to a parts store just down the road. We got some wire, fuses and terminals and hard wired the fans to the battery to get me home. Had to stop at a gas station for water for our trucks, and us. He was a bit cautious at this point, thinking he might need a little extra for his too.

We got to the seawall a bit late, so it's just our two trucks. The rest of the club left the lot about 5 minutes after we got there (only scheduled to be there for an hour anyway). Anyway, enough of story time, here are the pics:
