Decided to fix my fuel gauge. The sending unit (which is part of the fuel pump) was hanging up on the side of the gas
tank so I wanted to get that fixed…which I did. When I initially changed out the fuel pump a couple months ago I discovered there were three missing bolts that hold the truck bed to the frame. I was able to put two back but the last one wasn't lined up so I skipped it. Today I decided to try and get it lined up since I had most of my tools out. So I tried pounding, prying, and cussing it back into place. I beat that bracket with a hammer which moved it a little. Then I used a punch and pried it closer. But it still wasn't lined up enough to get a bolt in it. Trying to come up with another strategy I decided to take to cussing it out. I used every bad word I ever learned in my life. Didn't budge! So I did it. Yep, I went to DEFCON 1. Thought I would never have to go there, but I was determined to get that damn bolt in that last hole and I was out of options. So I huffed and I puffed and I reached back for all I was worth and I screamed, "YOU POO POO HEAD"! Hark! It worked! The hole lined up perfectly and I was able to get the bolt in. Boy, I told that hole a thing or two, huh? Teach that truck not to mess with me!! Harrumph!
