8ntruck 9,354 #10228 Posted yesterday at 04:13 AM I got the wiring to my '72 C10's ignition switch wire harness reassembled today. I located the Packard 56 terminals at the local NAPA store and ended up ordering a roll over crimping tool from Summit Racing. They are selling it under the Painless brand. Works well. The crimp looks just like the factory crimp. It passed the smoke test when I hooked up the battery. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 9,354 #10229 Posted yesterday at 04:27 AM (edited) A couple pictures of this week's work in our Ky woods. The camper after we dropped it down the hill and got it back up the hill to the Mrs 8n approved level spot: A shot of the storage shed and the new camp bath house. The original position of the camper was just out of the left side of the picture. Oh, yea - the camper's toung jack caster wheel has been replaced with a foot. That, and the four stabilizing jacks on the trailer will go a long way to prevent the 'runaway trailer' syndrome we had the other day.

Chemical toilet and propane/battery/pump inline water heater for hot shower. We are starting out with a HF Predator solar pannel and power station as a learning experience. We will probably upgrade to something larger in the future. We've also got a 3500 watt gas powered generator that will end up on the Ky property eventually. Once we start building a permanent building, we will hook up to the county water system and power. Edited 20 hours ago by 8ntruck 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't take any pictures and everything is reinstalled under the dash, so taking pictures isn't really doable. Try a search on Packsrd 56 terminals abd see if any pictures turn up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've been considering what to do for the new upta camp land. One possible bug advantage for us is that Maine still "grandfathers" outhouses built before a certain point. Our new land has an old off grid residence. If we can find a location of the original outhouse, we may be able to rebuild it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My neighbor, @clean h2o, took down a nice buck on Thursday. Brought me over a nice steak last night. It was delicious but took a minute to adjust to eating meat with no fat.
