====== I NEED TO FIND OUT ======

* What is a good low-cost GPS tracker, perhaps an old iPhone. What's an easy Battery-Disconnect switch for security, that also locks down all breaks.\\
* Where is the voltage regulator.\\
* I don't think I have Power Breaks, how to install them?\\
* My dad said if I have a High-Level Camshaft (Or High-Flow Camshaft), the intense engine vibration may be normal. When I whistle, I vibrate.\\
* Do I need an Oil Temp Gauge? I have an Oil Pressure Gauge.\\
* Why does my carb pressure gauge flicker intensely, weak valve springs? Do I have a vacuum leak, perhaps a rough idle vacuum leak?\\
* Why is the parking gear extremely stubborn.\\
* What carriage parts are safe to paint, to keep away rust.

* What engine parts get hot? I assume the engine block and exhaust tubes and oil filter.\\
* Do I have rubber boot joints on my steering? I don't think so.\\
* Are there any electrical shorts at all anywhere. Are all severed wires capped off.\\
* Are all bolts tight?\\
* Are my spark plugs gapped perfectly?\\
* Where do I get a dust cover for my FlyWheel FlexPlate?

====== Royce's Timeline of Events ======

* My buddy bought a 1933 Chevy Master Eagle, I help take care of it in my driveway.

* Dec 2, 2018. I bought my 1936 Ford Panel Truck, from a gentleman home builder in Sun City Arizona. On Dec 15, I sent the final payment. A few days later the truck was scheduled to be delivered to me.

* Dec 22, 2018. I got a standard truck cover, so I can cover my truck easier. I got the backup camera working. The coolant gauge showed max heat, yet the engine stays cool, so I need a new Sender sensor and wire. My friend Glenn came over and pointed out a radiator hose needed tightened, and I noticed there's a tiny gasoline drip near the exhaust. So I drove the truck to my neighbor Mike in the blue house and he showed me the two coolant temperature sensors. He gave me a lot of awesome info. My dad texted me a photo of what sensor to buy at an automotive store. I still don't know what a bunch of the ceiling switches do. On the 31st, Glenn lent me his car jump starter. I temporarily wired my own trickle charger to the car alternator because it's a lot easier to get to than the battery.

* Jan 2, 2019. I got most the major engine parts figured out, documented, and the trickle charger properly installed under the battery. My dad Jim Lee Barber of [[http://www.BarberDSP.com|www.BarberDSP.com]] gave me a lot of information about my truck engine. I capped off about nine severed wires, most of which weren't live, but three were, so it's safe now.

====== QUICK MANUAL ======

* Features on the steering wheel and column: Tilt steering wheel. Longest is the gear shifter. Key. Turn indicator. The tiny screw is the emergency blinkers, push it in hard.\\
* Inside the rear left door is a round key hole, which opens the driver door. Inside above the driver and passenger door are buttons to open those doors. The front two doors have no external handles, but a remote control is easy to install.\\
* On the dash is a B&M Transmission slider, it's not needed and is disconnected.\\
* Many panels are on a hinge, including the ceiling toggle switches and lid of the center console, and on the side of the center console, and the wall immediately behind the passenger seat.\\
* The little push button on the drivers floor is a standard Light Dimmer button.\\
* Outside decorative spare tire, has a release key hole under the center cap. The center cap is on a hinge, pry it forward.\\
* Engine bay opens by firmly pressing downward on the chrome handles, then pulling outward.

====== Eventual Projects and Repairs ======

* Crack in passenger window. Windows roll down slow after being in the paint shop in mid Dec 2018. Insert a modular back seat. I have a digital compass ready to install. I'm organizing all data/paperwork I can get on the truck, into a sturdy case with other 1936 memorabilia. Adding a matching wood steering wheel spinner. Will put UV coating to protect tires from sun/moisture/air/etc. Designing an aluminum toolbox for the inside, but am using a gold travel luggage for now to store tools and camping supplies. I don't yet know how to fix the horn. I notice slight rust on the front bumper so I want to have it thoroughly sand blasted and re-chromed. The inside of the rear doors need wood paneling or to be painted rootbeer brown. LowJack is $600.00 so I'm seeking a live DIY tracking solution such as a old iPhone. The following is a toolbox I designed in 3D-Coat, I may add a seat cushion to the top and a simple back rest.

===== How Does a Vehicle Engine Work? =====

The easiest way I could explain, by Royce Edward Barber.\\
.\\
* Animals and plants die over millions of years; the Earth grinds them into oil. \\
* Humans dig up the oil and process it into gasoline. Gasoline is shipped by trucks, to gas stations. \\
* You fill your gas tank with gasoline. Your money helps repair the road system.  \\
* Your car has many fuses which are designed to fall apart in case of an electrical disaster, which stops the dangerous electricity. The battery sends out electricity. \\
* The battery powers an electric starter motor that spins parts in your engine. Readying them to be pushed by an explosion.  \\
* A electric fuel pump sends gasoline to an explosion area, and air is added. \\
* Fire requires fuel and air, so an electric spark makes gasoline and air explode. \\
* The explosion pushes a board called a piston. The piston being pushed, rotates a pole called a shaft. \\
* The spinning shaft will turn a gear. The gear has rubber belts that spin a bunch of engine parts. \\
* The spinning shaft move your tires against the road. Causing wear and tear on the highway system. \\
* Rubber belts spin a little generator which charges your battery. The battery has chemicals to hold electricity. \\
* Your engine is running now because gasoline explosions are turning gears. The engine heats up fast. \\
* You give your engine a minute to heat up, which starts a cooling process to maintain an ideal engine temperature. Not too hot, not too cold. \\
* A electric fan with cooling hoses, pushes fluid through many engine parts. Cooling fluid expands when it’s hot, and shrinks again when it cools, so the cooling pipes have parts that expand as needed. \\
* As the engine is exploding gasoline, the burnt gasoline is smog and is sent through filter chambers. \\
* Leftover smog is pushed out the back of the car, and mixes with the Earths atmosphere. The smog eats at the Earth's protective atmosphere chemicals. The eaten chemicals allow sun radiation through to your skin. The Earth naturally goes through many atmosphere changes and forest fires anyway, but many companies try to keep smog minimal. \\
* Your car needs fluids changed, and parts replaced or repaired, as abused parts go bad. Just like the human body.\\
* You may notice similarities between a car and human. There's a bone frame structure, a need for air and fuel, filters, lubricants (blood), cooling fluid (sweat and blood veins), computer sensors, soft suspension, outer shell, and much more. \\

====== TRUCK HUMOR ======

* Tubeless is our latest technology, it was a tireless effort.\\
* If you got it, a trucker brought it.\\
* A UPS truck hit the Microsoft building, they named it HotMail. That name was on fire. I was semi amused. It was the torque of the town.\\
* I couldn't figure out the seatbelt, then it hit me, then it clicked, then I buckled up for another try.\\
* What has four wheels and 'flys'? A garbage truck.\\
* If you had a time traveling truck, do you travel from 'time to time' or put the breaks on that idea.\\
* Chevy is Like a Rock, it just sits there for all time.\\
* What car is a dog weary of? 'Vets.\\
* I drove my truck today, as the motorcycle was 'two tired'.\\
* I own a unicycle, it was a truck until I popped three wheelies.\\
* My mechanic says a ping ping sound from the engine, will cost me five bucks, a ping clank is ten bucks, a clank-guzzle is 400 bucks, and a hiss means he lost it and lit the truck on fire.
