Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

After I smoked that switch, I reached out to the manufacture as the manual I have shows a different electric motor set up and wiring diagrams. They finally sent me he correct wiring diagram for my set up, but unfortunately, mine is so old (made in 2002), that they don't have replacement parts for it anymore. So off to search the internet for the part I need. Found the part, but it is discontinued from the manufacture with no direct replacement. Well, being that I am a bit persistant, I emailed the maker of the switch asking if there was a similar switch that would work, but built/packaged a different way. Sure enough, I get an email back with a alternate part number that will work, but in a different shape...

So, while waiting on the part to arrive, I worked on my truck. Installed the turn signal buckets and bulbs. The OE mounting points where shot, either had a rusted up bolt broken off in them that I could not get out, or they where stripped out. So, RivNuts to the rescue! Since the buckets are not side specific, I could just add in two nuts in cross corners after drilling some holes! Now I have park/turn lights mounted. I bought a kit with a manual setter from Amazon, worked like a champ.
