Maybe just the starter was stuck? I guess you tried the old put in 3rd gear and rock it back and forth to see if it popped loose?

Re: Truck based woody
So, Gary, was the problem the grounds and once you cleaned them up, the Woodie fired right up??

Re: Truck based woody
Actually the battery terminals and connections to the solenoid were gray and fuzzy. The kind of stuff I sort of expect with an old beater on six volts....The stuff we never addressed as kids with a 200.00 flathead truck, BUT, I have been all through this and re-wired everything a few years back, and 12 volt gm alt... ....still We have to keep these terminals clean. My suburban is a '99 and so it's 22 years old. I don't have to clean the battery terminals so I can get home from town. It's fine though. Any geek can drive a suburban and get home. . What I wonder about is that special grease on electrical connectiions, our dads used vaseline. Like a di-electric thing? What is that?

Re: Truck based woody
Our 'July 4th' celebration and parade is always on a Saturday. I fine time was had by all. We had a great loop of old country music on a powerful boombox on the front bumper... Disney's Woody figure sittin'n on the grille and we all went for lunch after the parade. Don't get much better than that in my book. The woody has been performing admirably lately but I still plan to build a 255 8ba this winter and maybe with a 4 speed crash box behind it. Will I need to do driveshaft modifications to go from a 3 speed to a four speed in a '47 pickup?

Re: Truck based woody
That's great Gary! Nice job on the woody. To answer your question in #563, both Vaseline and dielectric grease can work to prevent corrosion by not allowing water and oxygen to come in contact. The big difference between them is that Vaseline is petroleum based and IS conductive, dielectric grease is silicone based and NOT conductive. Vaseline may actually improve your connection as well as prevent corrosion but it is combustible and can degrade both plastic and rubber over time.

Re: Truck based woody
In ‘66, Dad bought a new Buick. When he brought it home, I smeared the battery terminals with Sears chassis grease. (RIP the grease but not Sears.) Six years later the battery died. A pair of pliers had the spring ring terminals off in no time, a new Delco battery went in and the Buick was up and running.

Re: Truck based woody
Gosh, Time sure flies by. Another Fourth, another parade, another great visit with the grandkids. Woodie has been running great, but ready for another coat of varnish on the maple and maybe a little more paint on the sheet metal here and there.
