First found out that the standard 1/2 " drill is not long enough. Postponed!

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
 

Dang it. I was hoping watch your installation. I'm still trying to decide if I want to install mine.

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
 

I'd like to encourage you with this idea.
Drill already arrived, waiting for the sun, latest in spring. In the meantime you can prepare yourself: https://www.unityusa.com/

If you search in the internet for engine suffix -YV you will find often 327 m/t (for manual trans.). This is wrong in my opinion, see also Chevrolet truck parts catalog, Oct 1969-
It's clear stated C10-C20 3-speed Automatic and this is what I see in practice on my truck.

Looks fantastic man! When you are finished please send me a video showing how it operates. Thanks for the link! I didn't know they can be purchased new... Now I don't have to look for a used one.:metal:

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
 

Is not rocket science and the guys in the forum delivered a fantastic explanation.
The result is very cool in my opinion.

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
 

Electrical part some issues, missing power on the sealed beam due old greace in the front gear. Solved. One short circuit in the rear still under investigation.

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
 

Other job, the belt from the power steering was to long, as desribed here

Left original, to long 35 5/8"
Right matching 35 1/8"

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
 

Spotlight is working know. The reason for the short circuit was in this case not the switch, but thank you again for the advise. The reason was a corroded inner bar, therefore the full axial movement was not possible and the lamp was wrong assembled. The rear contact was collided with the gear key.
