    The thing that is most confusing is that it says it is for multiple makes "21 Circuit EZ Wiring Harness Chevy Ford Mopar Hotrods" Did all makes back then use the same style fuse block and connectors, even at the steering column? Or is this just a GM oriented universal that can be used on...

    '74 Shortbed' I had a 62 chevy II two door bracket racer I built when when I was in the service (back in the late 70s).. Sure wish I still had that thing.. I used to race at OCIR with a friend of mine that had a '64 chevy II wagon.... Do you have any pictures of your 62 and 63? I want to...

    Door and hood alignment on 73 C10

    Looking at the cost of the tool required to adjust it with the fender in place, kinda alone makes it worth removing the fender... The hood is 'slightly' bent as is common with these hoods.. Is it possible to just 'unbend' them, and then install bracing to prevent it from happening again...

    Wow! Very interested in this.... Those are a lot cheaper.. They are universal fit type, right? I don't see any way to choose a make/model/year when purchasing.. Did you have any issue with the fact that it was a universal kit? How close to OEM was the fuse panel/harness connectors? Do you...

    Door and hood alignment on 73 C10

    Okay, as of Saturday, I am the proud owner of a 73 Chevy C10 long bed.. Besides the electrical issues I am discussing elsewhere, it has some body alignment issues as well... The most urgent of which is the driver side door alignment.. You can see in the first picture how the gap is all...

    yeah, I am leaning towards a complete rewire.. get it over and done with... Brake upgrades are definitely on the list, especially since i drive mountain roads every day... Want to increase the size of the brakes on the front and convert to a power brake system... Also want to put an...

    The thing I'm a bit concerned about is if I just replace the engine side harness, the condition that caused the melt down might still be present, and then do the same thing to the new harness... Or is there some other typical cause for the complete meltdown that would make such concerns...

    Just bought a 73 C10 long bed (327ci), and it has some issues... Need to make into reliable transpo ASAP, and then will continue fixing it up from there... When I bought it, it had no lights.. one turn indicator was working intermittently, now not at all.. Thing runs and rolls great...
