Re: “Castro” my new 72 build

More progress, I have most of the wiring ran. I had to repair the headlight relay circuit off the blue truck because it was crushed in the wreck. I had this relay upgrade on the blue truck. I used the fwd harness off the blue truck because it was in great shape otherwise. Finished up the condenser installation. To help the AC in traffic I went to the bone yard and found a nice 11" electric fan off an OBS 1 ton dually. I had to modify the brackets to fit. I wired the fan through a relay, but the control circuit now comes off the now defunct original AC blower fan switch. With vintage air you don't use that switch. I had thought about using an automatic controller but I'm going to try it like this for a while. Got all the wiring done on the core support as far as I could till the fenders go on, painted the hood latch and brace and got them installed. Battery box and headlights are in.
