JoeCool Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I need to figure out a way to make an evaporative "swamp" cooler for my truck since it has no AC. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Well, you already have a heater fan. Take the wiper arms and cowl off. The air inlet to the fan is on the far pass side. Stuff the plenum with a folded gunny sack and connect the washer bottle tubes to spray them to keep moist. (use ordinary water though). As the sacks dry out just squirt water on them and the fan does the rest. Any overflow of water just drains out the overflow drain. Cost? pretty much zero. 2 Link to comment
HRH Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 There's no reason not to recycle the water. It's not the water that cools... it's the evaporation. You could have small pump in a catch basin below feeding a top manifold and let it trickle back down. Just check and refill the water every day or so. Perhaps strips of damp denim like vertical blinds but closer together just enough for air has to get through. You know, that's a good thought. Plus the recycling action will probably keep mildew down. Link to comment
HRH Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 The only problem with that is rust proofing the area. Datsuns like to spring rust. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 The plenum under the cowl gets all the rain from the windshield anyway and also why there are drains on both sides. The air inlet down to the fan inside the cab has an upward flair so water can't fall in. Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Wow, just wow. Seems like most people on craigslist these days just don't have a fuckin' clue. http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/4524569377.html Seeing that I own a couple internationals and a heap of parts, its worth atleast a dollar, it still has the running gear under it, and some steel attached to it.

VFR800 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Wow... okay, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to tell anyone about this, but it's late and I'm sleep deprived so i guess I'll just write it now and regret it in the morning Sad First of all, - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born, (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn't about her. I guess that's ****** up to say, but whatever.) I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up. Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie. I don't want to go into to many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that she made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me- but I thought she was so ******* beautiful that I watched it twice. I probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy **** went down and I had to leave home. (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it). Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home. My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just wanted to **** her brains out. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up- but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly. After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my Sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy- and even though she was my sister- I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging. Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time. My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think- but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was ****** up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips. Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever ******* seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh. A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised. But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that Darth Vader was our father and that I had to go face him. 4 Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Not sure where, but i just saw your sister a few months ago she looks pretty beat-up and over weight,, but at least she has that bi-polar under control for the moment. The chick ended up a real mess man,, probably all stemming from the having a famous daddy really. So is your real name Chad? 2 Link to comment
