Re: Project Vitamin C-10
It has been my experience in every vehicle I have driven, Civilian and Military, that the lights stop flashing when you have the 4ways on, and your turn signal indicators will stay lit as well. If after you charge your battery and check your 4ways again, and they only flash 7-8 times and stop I suggest reaching in and feeling your 4way controler/flasher see if it is uncommonly warm to the touch.
Same thing if your head light switch seems twitchy. These things tend to stop working when they get too hot due to an internal short IIRC. |

My 1965 C10 does this... flashers on and flashing-flashing, if I hit the brake the blinker indicators on the dash(stock 1965 dash with gauges) go solid. However, my steering column is a 1971... and I wired in the flasher unit after I bought the truck, when I realized it was possible. I was discussing some of this stuff on another old truck board and a fella explained it to me. dunno if that helps you or not, but that is what mine do as well. -W |

Like I mentioned above I did put a charge on the battery. It didn't seem low judging by the charger, but the flashers are working good now. The turn signals don't do anything. The only thing that I have noticed is with the brakes on and when I turn on a turn signal, the brake light goes out. Remember nothing is hooked up on the front as far as lights go. Today I installed the wiper motor and drive. I hot wired the wipers to make sure everything moves like it should. No abnormal noises. Installed the cowl panel and hood to cowl seal. Hooked up the headlight relays to the battery. Got the fan relay all hooked up, but the ign wire to the temp sensor for the relay. Trying to figure out the best point to pull power from. I did hot wire the fan to make sure I had the polarity correct. It sure is quiet. |

Forgot to post this. Here is a thread about truck prices at Barrett-Jackson.
This one went for $32,450 with fees included. I noticed it has a points dizzy, power drum brakes, no AC, no fan shroud, not a custom cab and I believe a small window. I'll show the appraiser when he comes out. ;) |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
did any body notice the body work, that drivers door looks like a bowl and I'm sure it is not a reflection, I think Alan's should appraise for much more just based on the level of quality of workman ship

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I've been doing a lot of catching up recently with your thread. I started on page 23 a few weeks ago, and have read a few pages a night, until I finally caught up. Your truck looks amazing and I can't wait to see what it appraises for. You do great work and have got me going again on my '65. Which brings me to a question. I'm pricing what it would cost for someone to blast the interior and exterior of my cab and both doors...nothing else. I've had a company quote me $750 and I'm waiting from another company to get back with me. Does $750 seem like a reasonable price?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
allen, trucks coming along nicely, yours is sure alot nicer than the green one at barrett jackson so it should appraise for at least a half million:metal:as far as the brake light going out might be a ground problem.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Yes sarge, when I started my 57 had the fan on the engine.. srarted ran fine.. let idle for a while back out on drive way revved up the motor and put a perfect circle in the brand new alumiun raditor when the blades flexed with additional RPMs. 3 gallone of anti freeze on the ground and a $150 raditor shot to He##$$%^&&*(). Called summit ordered new efan and new raditor. 10 years ago and no problems since. at least with the raditor. LOL

No updates to post, but I will raise the question again. Like I mentioned above I did put a charge on the battery. It didn't seem low judging by the charger, but the flashers are working good now.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
:flagw:In my vehicle both of the turn signal lights had to be hooked up and working to get them to flash... I did the same thing you are doing and you must complete the turn light connections to see if they are working. Needs both bulbs to complete the circuit.:flagw:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I was going to mention a digital flasher relay too, but the dash lights probably would not flash if you didnt already have one

I hooked up a bulb for the front turn signal and the turn signals work. I did both circuits. High beam indicator is staying on, but I will deal with that once the headlights are in. |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Good work Alan we all need a 2/4 upside the head ever once in a while.. LOL

The voltage is so low on led's that they don't generally draw enough amps to pull a regular analog flasher You are running rear LED's right? at least I thought you were |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Maybe your new fuse block and harness already had a digital/electronic flasher installed I think they will work with both types of systems but don't quote me on that

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
